"Brilliant, haunting, dark, joyous, remarkably compelling... immensely difficult to put down... a master storyteller."

THE VILLAGE VOICE

A childhood memory re-experienced, a funeral that brings about a family reunion, and the excavation of a swimming pool on the site of an old well, uncover family secrets and air the dirty linen in this behind-the-scenes look at life and family, memory and forgetfulness, anger and forgiveness in a small Southern town.

"Falls in line with the best of classical Southern fiction... but Ms. Smith's vision is her own and places her among the best of contemporary Southern writers."
