Customer Reviews

A Big, complicated book about small-town life

Jonis Agee is "a gifted poet of that dark lushness in the heart of the asmerican landscape" (New York Times Book Review).The main character, Honey Parrish, "not only sees the complex relationships of her town but tells us about them with humor and pathos." (Lawrence Thornton) "Divinity, Iowa is a boisterous traffic jam of human desires and follies, secrets and squabbles. Agee depicts the rural backdrop so keenly that, beneath the noise of her amazing characters, you'll swear you can hear the corn grow." (Susan Dodd)
