Told in the stunning voices of five women whose lives are inextricably bound when a murder takes place in rural Depression-era North Carolina, Ann Hite’s unforgettable debut spans generations and conjures the best of Southern folk-lore mystery, spirits, hoodoo, and the incomparable beauty of the Appalachian landscape.
Themes of forgiveness and redemption permeate the novel's concluding chapters, but the need to face the consequences of one's choices is the book's strongest theme. After a slow start (frankly, I think the novel would have been better without the ghosts), Hite won me over with her intriguing story and memorable characters.
