"Bold, daring, graceful, and engrossing." -- Bobbie Ann Mason "This book will knock your socks off.... A first novel that sings with talent." -- Clyde EdgertonIn his phenomenal debut novel -- a mesmerizing literary thriller about the bond between two brothers and the evil they face in a small North Carolina town -- author Wiley Cash displays a remarkable talent for lyrical, powerfully emotional storytelling. A Land More Kind than Home is a modern masterwork of Southern fiction, reminiscent of the writings of John Hart (Down River), Tom Franklin (Crooked Letter, Crooked Letter), Ron Rash (Serena), and Pete Dexter (Paris Trout) -- one that is likely to be held in the same enduring esteem as such American classics as To Kill a Mockingbird, Of Mice and Men, and A Separate Peace. A brilliant evocation of a place, a heart-rending family story, a gripping and suspenseful mystery -- with A Land More Kind than Home, a major American novelist enthusiastically announces his arrival. |
