Fiction. "Paul Weltner has the Southern writer's gift for the romance of place. His people are 'forgotten a litte'—for them home equals a deep ache. They are silent and dreamy, but eloquent when they finally consent to speak. Weltner has planted in them a potential for grandeur, spiritual and fateful, that emerges as obsessive love, sudden disasters, and gorgeously painful solitude."
