This book is absolutely gripping. Right from the start you get caught up in this southern saga. This book is so well written with its great character development and excellent descriptions - you almost feel like you are watching a movie, but you might want to close your eyes to parts of it!There is a lot of sex (but not overly graphic) in this book, but surprisingly, it didn't bother me! It just felt like it needed to be there. This is such a sad, and in a way, disturbing story.  Its a story of sex, lies, and murder in the 1960's (which is when I was born, BTW).Can you say "Drama, drama, drama"? That's what this book is about, not a dull moment. There were so many different layers to this story, you just kept peeling and peeling off the layers as you went deeper and deeper into their lives.This is the second one by Vera Jane Cook I have read now and "The Story of Sassy Sweetwater" was just as good! This author is definitely one I will keep my eye on! I really have to give Vera two thumbs up for writing a story as daring as this one.
