Decorations in a Ruined Cemetery (Paperback)
$15.95
Special Order - Subject to Availability
Description
The novel that marked John Gregory’s Brown’s much-heralded debut, DECORATIONS IN A RUINED CEMETERY is a “finely wrought tale . . . that unlocks its secrets like a Chinese box, each hidden compartment opening to reveal yet another, until at the end we stand aghast at the complexity that lies before us” (Richmond Times-Dispatch). This is the heartbreaking story of the Eagens, an New Orleans family of “mixed blood,” as recalled by three unforgettable narrators, each intimately entangled in the family’s small tragedies and betrayals.
