The Inkling (Voices of the South) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Within the household they share with their mother and uncle in rural North Carolina, Jan, wound mentally taut as a trap, and his retarded sister, Timmie, form a strange but mutually protective partnership. Both children, wise with intimations beyond the shallow comprehension of their elders, are visited with a foreboding sense of fatality. When the family takes on a new member - a young redheaded housekeeper with goals of her own - the deranged equilibrium in their lives erupts at last in a brilliant shower of inevitable but nonetheless stunning events.
