| Very Good Condition. Would be Fine except for an ink price on the front cover and the price has been blacked out. Glossy covers, square, tight, no spine creases, very nice fresh pages with only a touch of yellow. See scan which is extra large to allow you to see condition details. |
| This powerful and lusty story of backwoods life far south of Tobacco Road tells how Preacher Love Gudger and his no-count son Luke have a profound and disastrous effect on the lives of these carefree and happy people, especially the widow Conroy and her tantalizingly attractive daughter. Gudger began twisting the Devil’s tail in northern Mississippi, and blazed a trail of hellfire and damnation across the Deep South before he wound up in this little community of "Florida Crackers." |
