A great Southern novel
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 21 years ago
I loved this book. The cast of characters can't be beat and the description of life in Mobile at the time made me think how different it is now, but how it hasn't changed at the same time. Anyone who read "Milking the Moon" should read this as well - I'd recommend reading it afterwards so you can appreciate Walter's view of the world.
