A book I couldn't put down. Lee Smith is one of my favorite authors and this book scores again. It's so interesting to follow the family line of people she chooses to tell the story, each with their own voice, their own section of the book.
Sometimes, I find myself wondering who inhabited the land I live on. Lee Smith tells this story of her enchanted and often dark Hoot Owl Hollar and surrounding places like Hurricane Mountain, and Black Rock with characters named Almarine, Red Emmy, Dory, Pricey Jane and Ora Mae and offers us a glimpse into the oral history of this community.
Lee Smith is a good storyteller! Now, to see if I've missed any of her other books.
