A thoughtful, intelligent work ... The novel traces the yeasr from he '50s to the ate '80s, from Eisenhower to George Bush ... She writes with simple eloquence about small-town life in the South, right after the start of the great social upheaval of he civil rights movement ... Campbell has a strong creative voice."
