“Expansive portrait of mid-century landowners and sharecroppers in the American South. Daughtry capably evokes harsh historical truths of the era, particularly the generational abuse that wealthy landowners inflicted on the descendants of enslaved peoples.”

“At the heart of the novel is a thoughtful meditation on the inexorability of change, and what happens when justice results in a redistribution of success. Also, Daughtry presents a provocative profile of nepotism in these pages; for all of Gordon’s success, it’s made clear that he was never a superior businessman whose skill brought him riches; in fact, he simply inherited a thriving empire that required very little from him to continue as it always had.”
