Why read on Fable?
Publisher Description
"Brilliant, haunting, dark, joyous, remarkably compelling...immensely difficult to put down...a master storyteller."
THE VILLAGE VOICE
A childhood memory re-experienced, a funeral that brings about a family reunion, and the excavation of a swimming pool on the site of an old well, uncover family secrets and air the dirty linen in this behind-the-scenes look at life and family, memory and forgetfulness, anger and forgiveness in a small Southern town.
"Falls in line with the best of classical Southern fiction...but Ms. Smith's vision is her own and places her among the best of contemporary Southern writers."

“This is the first book I’ve read by Lee Smith, but after reading this delightful novel, I’ll definitely be reading more by her. I wasn’t sure what to expect when I began this book, but what I found was a hard to put down story about a quirky, southern family and their secrets. Each chapter gives the reader a perspective from a different family member and insight into their personal world. This is an older book, but I think it definitely ages well and could easily be from today.”
