About This Item
Chapel Hill, NC:: Algonquin Books,, 2000.. Hardcover -. Very good in a near fine dust jacket (discoloration/toning to part of top edge of text block). 4th printing. The fourth novel, seventh book, by this award-winning Southern writer, "She's had no education, hardly any shelter, and you can't call what her father's been trying to give her since she grew up "love." So, at the ripe age of seventeen, Fay Jones leaves home. She lights out alone, wearing her only dress and rotting sneakers, carrying a purse with a half pack of cigarettes and two dollar bills. Even in 1985 Mississippi, two dollars won't go far on the road. But help's not hard to come by when you look like Fay. . . At the end there are five dead bodies stacked up in Fay's wake. Fay herself is sighted for the last time in New Orleans. She'll make it, whatever making it means, because Fay's got what it takes: beauty, a certain kind of innocent appeal, and the instinct for survival." 489 pp.
