From award-winning writer David Joy comes a searing new novel about
the cracks that form in a small North Carolina community and the
evils that unfurl from its centre. Toya Gardner, a young Black
artist from Atlanta, has returned to her ancestral home in the
North Carolina mountains to trace her family history and complete
her graduate thesis. But when she encounters a still-standing
Confederate monument in the heart of town, she sets her sights on
something bigger. Meanwhile, local deputies find a man sleeping in
the back of a station wagon and believe him to be nothing more than
some slack-jawed drifter. Yet a search of the man's vehicle reveals
that he is a high-ranking member of the Klan, and the uncovering of
a notebook filled with local names threatens to turn the mountain
on end. After two horrific crimes split the county apart, every
soul must wrestle with deep and unspoken secrets that stretch back
for generations. Those We Thought We Knew is an urgent unraveling
of the dark underbelly of a community. Richly drawn and bracingly
honest, it asks what happens when the people you've always known
turn out to be monsters, what do you do when everything you ever
believed crumbles away?
