untouted masterpiece

Why this novel has not received more attention is beyond me. It is ambitious in its subject matter, rich in its characterizations, and lilting in its prose. A very satisfying read with passages that will stay with the reader. PArker takes the southern gothic genre and turns it on its ear. reka and randall speight grow up dirt poor in nc, reka her younger brother's protector. after she sets out to find herself a new life, Randall sets out to find her. Their search for each other is Dickensian in the best sense, avoiding the pitfalls of melodrama. Paker's use of the late fifties and early sixties as backdrop is also effective. Read this book and tellyour friends. It deserves more attention!
