It wasn't as creepy and gothic as it was conyed, but I still thought it was enjoyable. ( ) A wonderful blend of Gothic and ghost, set on Black Mountain just outside Asheville-- a place I've loved to go. (A friend used to have a great restaurant up on Black Mountain.) Told from the point of view of five women, it's the story of a good woman loving a bad man, with ghosts thrown in. I liked the varied perspectives and how they moved the story along. You don’t have to believe in ghosts to thoroughly enjoy this southern ghost story, but you might want to turn up the lights to rid the room of shadows before you start reading. And once you start reading, you won’t want to quit. Hobbs Pritchard was a mean and self-serving man, and cared not a whit about others. Still, he managed to make more than one girl think she was in love with him. But relationships with him were cursed, and also cursed was the next generation. This story is excellently told through the different voices of five strong women. All their narratives weave together seamlessly to make a solid form, the core of which is Hobbs Pritchard. Well written with descriptive language, in a wondrous setting, and with unforgettable characters, this story will leave you wanting more. keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Nellie Clay married Hobbs Pritchard without even noticing he was a spell conjured into a man, a walking, talking ghost story. But her mama knew. She saw it in her tea leaves: death. Folks told Nellie to get off the mountain while she could, to go back home before it was too late. Hobbs wasn't nothing but trouble. He'd even killed a man. No telling what else. That mountain was haunted, and soon enough, Nellie would feel it too. One way or another, Hobbs would get what was coming to him. The ghosts would see to that. . . . Told in the stunning voices of five women whose lives are inextricably bound when a murder takes place in rural Depression-era North Carolina, Ann Hite's unforgettable debut spans generations and conjures the best of Southern folk-lore--mystery, spirits, hoodoo, and the incomparable beauty of the Appalachian landscape.
