Trade paperback. Zustand: Very good. [12], 241, [1] pages. Signed and inscribed by the author on the title page. Inscription reads For Larry This novel of a lost world. Ron Rash 6/6/04. A major new Southern voice emerges in this novel about a town divided by the aftermath of a tragic accident-and the woman caught in the middle. Ron Rash is the author of the 2009 PEN/Faulkner finalist and New York Times bestseller Serena and Above the Waterfall, in addition to four prizewinning novels, including The Cove, One Foot in Eden, Saints at the River, and The World Made Straight; four collections of poems; and six collections of stories, among them Burning Bright, which won the 2010 Frank O'Connor International Short Story Award, and Chemistry and Other Stories, which was a finalist for the 2007 PEN/Faulkner Award. Twice the recipient of the O. Henry Prize, he teaches at Western Carolina University. Drawing on the same lyrical prose and strong sense of place that distinguished his awarded first novel, One Foot in Eden, Rash's characters have a heroic quality as they struggle to fill the empty spaces in their hearts. They also have a poetic intensity that speaks of a deep connection to the land. When a twelve-year-old girl drowns in the Tamassee River and her body is trapped in a deep eddy, the people of the small South Carolina town that bears the river's name are thrown into the national spotlight. The girl's parents want to attempt a rescue of the body; environmentalists are convinced the rescue operation will cause permanent damage to the river and set a dangerous precedent. Torn between the two sides is Maggie Glenn, a twenty-eight-year-old newspaper photographer who grew up in the town and has been sent to document the incident. Since leaving home almost ten years ago, Maggie has done her best to avoid her father, but now, as the town's conflict opens old wounds, she finds herself revisiting the past she's fought so hard to leave behind. Meanwhile, the reporter who's accompanied her to cover the story turns out to have a painful past of his own, and one that might stand in the way of their romance.
