Synopsis
In this beautiful written tale by poet Isabel Zuber, we follow quiet heroine Anna Maud Stockton Bayley from her birth to her painful death in early middle age. Anna grows from a bright, imaginative child exulting in a rare wild freedom on the mountain side into a young woman possessed of romantic yearnings and a great love of books. Hungering to make a new kind of life for herself, she marries a local man, twice widowed, and begins a family. Set in the hamlet of Faith, North Carolina, Salt weaves together the lives of Anna's family and friends in a remarkably moving novel of separation and connection, exultation and despair.

Review
"The lyric cadences of Zuber's prose and her tender evocation of the landscape and atmosphere of her native region have much to do with the emotional richness of her touching account of one woman's inner awakening."--"Publishers Weekly " "Genuine through and through--authoritative even--and it is beautifully, often brilliantly, done. It deserves to be showered with prizes."--Fred Chappell ""Salt" is a big, beautiful book. There is something very, very special about this novel, something almost indefinable, like Kristin Lavrandsdotter. I loved reading it."--Lee Smith
