It's obvious that Cash has affection for the people and the places where he grew up. It's tobacco country and an area where the words in the bible are all too often taken literally. Cash understands this, accepts that people have strange traditions, extreme beliefs but still sees them for what they are. It makes for a particularly powerful story.
I'd like to thank the publishers for sending a copy to the Bookbag. We also have a review of [[This Dark Road to Mercy by Wiley Cash]] .
It's perhaps going a ''little'' far to compare the book with [[To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee]] or even [[The Help by Kathryn Stockett]] but there's that same feel for the southern United States, but if this book appeals you might enjoy one that's set a little further north - in western New York State - [[Arcadia by Lauren Groff]].
