In a small Mississippi town during the late 1950s, Even Grade, a twenty-eight-year-old Black man who grew up as an orphan, and Valuable Korner, the teenage white daughter of the local prostitute, search for love, family, and commitment as their lives intersect with that of Joody Two Sun, a seer who becomes Even's lover.
Industry reviews
"Haynes gets away with...much in this book--like a plot heavy with coincidence and creaky cliffhangers--because of the sheer vitality of her prose. Like a novelist not only writing about the 1950's but writing in the 1950's, she strives to bring a whole, rambunctious world onto the page." New York Times Book Review - Roy Hoffman (06/27/1999) "[A] promising debut....As style, her prose is often beautiful and full of grace, but as communication it can be confusing....What lingers are moments, sayings, and the marvelous descriptions of sights and sounds..." Theroux
