We had a give and take table at one of our book group nights, and I picked up this one.
The author won the Pulitzer Prize - but I'd never heard of him. But it was a pretty good read - very Faulknerish so it took some concentration. It was a very different construct - about blacks who owned slaves before the Civil War - takes place in Virginia - Manchester County.
Apparently it was not a very common practice - but it did exist.
The stack is getting smaller - but it's still got plenty of reading material in it!
