    About this ebook

    A compelling debut love story set in a deceptively bucolic Louisiana countryside, where blacks, Cajuns, and whites maintain an uneasy coexistence--by the award-winning author of A Lesson Before Dying and The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman.

    After living in San Francisco for ten years, Jackson returns home to his benefactor, Aunt Charlotte. Surrounded by family and old friends, he discovers that his bonds to them have been irreparably rent by his absence. In the midst of his alienation from those around him, he falls in love with Catherine Carmier, setting the stage for conflicts and confrontations which are complex, tortuous, and universal in their implications.

    • 5/5
      Heartbreaking story of an unjustly condemned young black man who learns to die with dignity.
    • 4/5
      This is a very moving book and a profound meditation on religion as a therepeutic lie vs. education as painful, truthful dignity. In the end the protagonist, Grant Wiggins, manages to salvage a kind of victory out of a horrible situation, but in doing so, he knows that the larger injustices remain - so the victory is hollow.
