Book excerpt: The author explores southern history and memory in this novel as she describes a largely untold story of a Jim Crow-era triple lynching in Aiken County, South Carolina. Through the interweaving of several characters' voices, she produces a complex narrative in which each section reveals a different facet of the event. She resurrects a troubled past and explores the individual and collective loyalties that led a community to choose silence over justice.
