Hilary Lloyd, buoyant and theatrical, finds himself overwhelmed by the grandeur and isolation of the Great Smoky Mountains. A windfall of money transforms the lives of a mountain community, bringing rivalry, love affairs, illicit liquor and a county fair into a story told with Craddock’s rich feeling for Tennessee landscape and speech.
A late novel by the pioneering local-colour writer Mary Noailles Murfree, who wrote as Craddock. Download the free EPUB.
