description: The first novel by the author of Under the Tuscan Sun and Bella Tuscany is set, surprisingly enough, in the deep South. Reclusive J. J. Mason lives in the woods outside Swan, Georgia, until he is coaxed into town by the unscheduled exhumation of his mother, who has been dead for 19 years. After receiving this disturbing news, J.J.'s sister Ginger flies home from Tuscany (!), where she has been working as an archaeologist. A compact, graceful mystery.
