5.0 out of 5 stars
thriller that should not be forgotten,
By
This review is from: The Primitive: A Novel (Hardcover)
I guess this is out of print, because I picked it up at a church sale. This author is a talented writer, nice and clean, keeps action moving, no factual errors that I could see, no unnecessary elements. A great story of a North Carolina tobacco town that is destroyed by a leveraged buyout of the main employer and plunged from prosperity to depression. This is not just backdrop but becomes an integral part of the plot. The main character stops to help a woman after a car accident and becomes more and more involved with her, without knowing her past or her identity. He risks his job, his marriage and maybe his life as he becomes obsessed with "helping her." One secret after another is gradually revealed with a tremendous momentum building to the end. I think this is excellent writing, and I would hope people would still be able to get this book. It was written in 1995, and it definitely works as a period piece from the events that were taking place at that time. It works just as well today.
