[additional description from RedAppleBooks.com]
In this work, the lives of a soldier, the young girl he's pursuing, and his great-aunt become creepily entwined until he is shipped overseas for D-Day. Several years later, the soldier is a reluctant war hero living in Memphis when auntie returns home to die with the nearly forgotten sweetheart in tow. Nearly all the 11 stories are set firmly in Taylor territory: genteel Tennesseans in the first half of this century whose digressive yet compelling stories are usually about the poisonous relationships between generations, often parents and their children.
