This simple and sad story is told with such exquisite language and believable characters you will be transported to the Appalachian mountains of Carolina during the First World War. Prejudice, cowardice and ignorance are all stacked against the sensitive and beautiful Laurel and her war wounded brother Hank and a stranger they meet and help who is not all he seems. An excellent novel from an accomplished American author.
In their little cabin set in the shadow of a deep cove, Laurel Shelton and her brother Hank have built a home. The locals whisper about the cove being cursed and perhaps it is: good fortune rarely seems to wind its way down the long overgrown trail that leads to their clearing in the woods.
