I LOVE THIS BOOK! A beautifully written book. Burns makes these characters, who live in a small southern town around the turn of the century 1900, come alive. It examines modernization, love and death, spirituality and religious ideas and prejudices, morals, and mores. There is a scandal. There is sadness. There is joy and love. There is a coming of age of a young boy. It is beautifully written. I didn't want it to end.
