A Confluence Of Rivers: A Story Of The South

By Tom Honea

Book Overview

A Confluence Of Rivers ... Tom Honea On an early July morning, 1931, seventeen year old catches the milk trunk into town, walks into the Ashe County, Mississippi, sheriff's office: "I just killed Mr. Marcus Junior," he announces. If there is one literary piece you read this year, make it this book. It's about people, people who had no choice where they were born, they simply were born in the south. They lived there, loved there, and died there. If you want to learn about how life in the deep south is, truly is, read this story. They are factious characters, but they are real and they come alive. Love 'em, hate 'em, but read about them. It is a must read. J.C. Simmons This book takes you to a different time and place ... and yo don't want to leave. As Faulkner puts you squarely but gently into someone else's life, Honea eases you into the world of his characters. The sense of place is so strong that when I put the book down for a breath, I can feel the air the characters were just breathing. But the real jewels are the words, the words and the phrasing. It is a joy to read. Sally Newhart
