Against the backdrop of Kentucky in the 1970s -- and against all
odds -- a black woman and a white man find a love that transcends
race, class, and condemnation. J. Marie Darden's magnificent love
story Enemy Fields is set in 1971 -- a time of war not just in
Vietnam or the streets of Washington, but also in Bourbon County,
Kentucky. When the Mandarenes, a wealthy white family, move into
the deserted mansion across the field behind her house, Sister
takes a job with them. She soon finds herself in the middle of a
drama that will change the racial balance of her town by falling in
love with Evian, the youngest son in the Mandarene family. In
haunting prose and beautiful images, Enemy Fields is a moving story
full of insight into human hearts caught in the crossfire of one of
the most volatile and violent periods of American history.
