Very enjoyable light read mostly about black/white relations in the south from the Civil War onward. Paints a rather broad brush to label people I think but I'm not a southerner. The author was raised in the Atlanta area but became a yankee 20 years ago. Returns to the south to write this book and is confused because folks aren't sitting around talking about slavery and racism. Of course that's all she wants to talk about with people, why? because she's writing a book about it. Most folks don't like to talk about something that ugly. But it was a good book that was borrowed from that neighbor again. And it inspired me for my next read.
next up - Gone With The Wind by Margaret Mitchell
