The year is 1952, and E.F. Bloodworth has returned to his home - a
forgotten corner of Tennessee - after twenty years of roaming. The
wife he walked out on has withered and faded. His three sons are
grown and angry. Warren is a womanising alcoholic; Boyd is driven
by jealousy to hunt down his wife's lover; and Brady puts hexes on
his enemies from his mother's porch. Only Fleming, the old man's
grandson, treats him with respect and sees past all the hatred,
realising the way it can poison a man's soul. It is ultimately the
love of Raven Lee, a sloe-eyed beauty from another town, that gives
Fleming the courage to reject his family's curse. In a tale
redolent with the crumbling loyalties and age-old strife of the
post-war American South made familiar to us by Cormac McCarthy,
Gay's characters inhabit a world driven by blood ties that strangle
as they bind. A coming of age novel, a love story, and a portrait
of a family torn apart, Provinces of Night introduced a distinctive
new voice in American fiction and a superb cast of characters.
