Review:
"A fascinating account of the black community's gradual political awakening."
"[Greene] writes with the lyricism of a poet and the skill of a novelist.... A rare reading experience."
"An exciting book about the failures of idealism in America in the last decade and a half.... Poetic and picaresque."
"In a cautionary tale as wonderfully knotty as a plank of Georgia pine, Greene forcefully marks the danger in confusing ideals with those who preach them and thereby extends the import of her story far beyond the boundaries of little McIntosh County."
Synopsis:
"[Greene] writes with the lyricism of a poet and the skill of a novelist.... A rare reading experience."
"An exciting book about the failures of idealism in America in the last decade and a half.... Poetic and picaresque."
"In a cautionary tale as wonderfully knotty as a plank of Georgia pine, Greene forcefully marks the danger in confusing ideals with those who preach them and thereby extends the import of her story far beyond the boundaries of little McIntosh County."
Set in McIntosh County, Georgia, in the 1970s, this is the true story of the political awakening of a tiny black community, and of the downfall of a flamboyant white sheriff and his gang. It is also the story of the rise of Thurnell Aston, a disabled black boilermaker who decided to fight back, of his triumph and of his tragic downfall.
