Synopsis
Winner of the 1999-2000 AWP/Thomas Dunne Books Award, BLOODROOT takes its cue from a true event: in 1936, in a small town near Charlottesville, Virginia, an aging black caretaker and his sister shot dead a white sheriff. The novel explores the circumstances leading up to the violent standoff as seen through the eyes of Elsa, a young county employee fresh out of school, and those of Wesley, the fifty-year-old caretaker of a vanished family's estate who is haunted by past concessions and his sister's attachment to the land. When Wesley stands in the way of a proposed turpentine plant by refusing the county's purchase offer, both he and Elsa find themselves moving toward an end neither wants to reach.
