South of Resurrection
Fans of Agee (A 38. Special & a Lonely Heart, LJ 5/1/95) have another treat in store for them. When Moline Bedwell returns to the Ozark town of Resurrection, Missouri, after 20 years, she merely wants to sell her parents' home and find a resting place for her sister's ashes. Widowed, middle-aged, and poor, Moline looks back on her "weird" past and anticipates a lonely future. But when old issues involving guilt, family, and previous boyfriend Dayrell Bell surface, it becomes clear that we take our past with us wherever we go. Everyone's secrets are eventually revealed in a poetic prose that delineates Agee's earthy characters and brings the impoverished town to life. Recommended for public libraries.?Ellen R.
