Opis

Set against the backdrop of the post reconstruction south, this novel explores the love affair between a sharecropper's daughter and the son of an illegal relationship between a Jewish business man and his mulatto "wife." It explores the social, religious, and family fiber of the rural community of Stewart county Georgia, and how it affects the ever-evolving love between these two from the very first time their eyes locked. His hair was full and long and wavy and silky and black as the night. She couldn't make out all the details from this distance, but she knew he was very handsome. That she could tell from this distance. "Pank Pank There Felix, an look who he walkin wit. Pank that one fine lookin' man." "Calm down gal." Theresa scolded as she pried Mary's hand off of her forearm. She felt like she was going to have her shoulder wrenched out of socket. "What you so excited bout? Since when you git so worked up bout Felix? An who he wit got you so riled?" She asked. Mary had already stretched out her arm and was pointing her index finger in the direction of Felix and the handsome stranger. Somewhat annoyed at all this commotion about Felix and his companion, Theresa glanced in the direction that Mary was pointing and quickly said, "I don't see no Felix. Where..." she stopped mid-sentence. She saw who her sister was pointing out. "Oh my " was all she could manage to say. From the first time she saw him until the last time she beheld his face, the love between Theresa and George grew. As you share their life, you will laugh, you will cry, you will cheer, you will mourn, but you will not be able to put this book, or its sequel, "Our Season in Grasmere," down.
