      About This Book

      "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."
