Synopsis
Farewell, I'm Bound to Leave You is rich with the music of the Southern mountains and the stories of their people.

Review
"Grounded in the gripping art of storytelling, [it] demonstrates Fred Chappell's universal appeal . . . A stirring chorale of women's voices." --Robert Taylor, The Boston Globe
"A vibrant picture . . . Chappell describes steely, passionate women, the savory foods they cook, and the luscious landscapes they inhabit." --Margot Mifflin, Entertainment Weekly
"An array of flavorful tales . . . a sometimes boisterous, sometimes lyrical, sometimes Gothically romantic celebration of women." --David Willis McCullough, The New York Times Book Review
"Haunting . . . Rich, lyrical, and frequently elegiac . . . Fred Chappell has become one of our indispensable contemporary writers." --Greg Johnson, The Atlanta Journal/Constitution
"Exuberant . . . musically written . . . Chappell here acknowledges fully and equally both the sadness and celebration and honors both, as only a gifted, fully initiated, grown-up writer can do." --Doris Betts, The World and I
"Marvelous . . . The most affecting work of fiction about place and love . . . since A River Runs Through It." --Howard Frank Mosher, The Washington Post Book World
