"Eloquent, lyrical, and richly textured . . . There is no one quite
like McCrumb] among present-day writers. No one better either."
--"San Diego Union-Tribune
"
With a career spanning decades, and superlatives from reviewers
nationwide--whose bestselling novels have been named Notable Books
by the "New York Times" and the "LA Times"--this is a unique
opportunity to publish one of Sharyn McCrumb's most cherished
novels. Now in trade paperback for the first time, fresh on the
heels of McCrumb's return to the bestseller list
The stage is set for family drama when Randall Stargill lies dying
on his southern Appalachian farm, and his four sons come home to
build him a coffin made from the special cache of rosewood he has
saved for this purpose. Meanwhile, mountain wisewoman, Nora
Bonesteel, prepares another box--to be buried with him. Among them,
a real estate developer is hovering over the family's farm bringing
secrets and tensions to the surface.
In a style both lyrical and beautifully detailed, with a narrative
that flows from Native American lore and the burnished tales of
Daniel Boone--up to the sharpest, and keenly realized landscapes of
Appalachia today, "The Rosewood Casket" is a novel as hauntingly
beautiful as the mountains that gave it charge--and a stunning
addition to our collection of McCrumb Ballad novels.
