• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

"The Ancient Hours […] packs a wallop" -New York Times Book Review "The Ancient Hours is brilliant." -Bud Smith, author of Work "Bible is a fantastic writer." -Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here Harmony, North Carolina is a typical town-full of saints and sinners you can't tell apart... Its history echoes with lynchings and shootings; mob violence and vigilante justice. But those are just whispers of a past lost to time. The summer of 2000 was different. Iggy in the Baptist church. Gasoline and a match. Twenty-five people dead. This, Harmony couldn't forget. Told in a kaleidoscope of timelines and voices, Michael Bible examines every dimension of a tragic but all-too-American story in The Ancient Hours. The victims, witnesses, perpetrators, and condemned comingle and evolve as the passage of time works its way through their lives. What emerges is a fable of the American South in the highest tradition: soaring, tragic, and eternally striving for redemption.
