Ward Greene's blistering third novel, once again set in his fictional Georgia town of Corinth, follows the booze-soaked loves, tragedies, and betrayals of people caught in the clash between old traditions and the new morality of the Jazz Age. It's a passionate conflict sparked by the return of local girl Eloise King after a decade away in New York...bringing with her the Bohemian ideals of Greenwich Village. The characters include an Italian bootlegger, a sex-starved librarian, a philandering husband, a conniving actress attracted to married men, and the return of Cora Potts, the colorful heroine of Greene's first book.
