In The Tree of Forgetfulness, writer Pam Durban, winner of the
Lillian Smith Book Award, continues her exploration of southern
history and memory. This mesmerizing and disquieting novel recovers
the largely untold story of a brutal Jim Crow--era triple lynching
in Aiken County, South Carolina. Through the interweaving of
several characters' voices, Durban produces a complex narrative in
which each section reveals a different facet of the event. The Tree
of Forgetfulness resurrects a troubled past and explores the
individual and collective loyalties that led a community to choose
silence over justice.
