Within the first few pages of Bloodroot I was hooked. It is truly the story of Appalachia, a two class society that has not changed much even today. Named for the bloodroot plant, whose sap has the power to hear or to kill, the story involves magic and madness, cruelty and love, passion and loss. Underlying it all is what remains today in the Appalchian mountains: lack of education and abject poverty.
Amy Greene’s power of description is amazing. Her sense of place is as vivid as that of any character. I hope to see much more from this talented debut novelist. Nancy S. |
