4.0 out of 5 stars
Tale of sex and hate, southern fried,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Whiskey Man (Deep South Books) (Paperback)
I hated Raine's fishing books. I thought he was arrogant, spoiled, and unable to take accountability. However, they were well written. I thought I would purchase his novel to see what he could do in another form. Let me tell you what I think he accomplished. I think he was able to provide an image of life in the South during the depression. In offering this to the reader he offers a tale that focuses on how sex, love, and hate can drive someone to decisions that are less than admirable. This reminds me to some extent of what O'Hara does, but set in Pennsylvania. I love these kind of novels even if I do not agree with what the characters are doing. He paints a great image and reconstructs how the characters found themselves in the positions they did, and what they thought at the time. All in all, a great book.
