Nightwoods -- Charles Frazier

<p><b><i>NEW YORK TIMES</i> BESTSELLER</b> <p/> Charles Frazier, the acclaimed author of <i>Cold Mountain </i>and<i> Thirteen Moons, </i> returns with a dazzling novel set in small-town North Carolina in the early 1960s. With his brilliant portrait of Luce, a young woman who inherits her murdered sister's troubled twins, Frazier has created his most memorable heroine. Before the children, Luce was content with the reimbursements of the rich Appalachian landscape, choosing to live apart from the small community around her. But the coming of the children changes everything, cracking open her solitary life in difficult, hopeful, dangerous ways. In a lean, tight narrative, <i>Nightwoods</i> resonates with the timelessness of a great work of art. <p/> <b>"Impossible to shake."<i>--Entertainment Weekly</i></b><br> <b><i> </i></b><br> <b>"Fantastic."<i>--The Washington Post</i></b><br> <b> </b><br> <b>"Astute and compassionate."<i>--The Boston Globe</i></b></p><br><br><b>Author:</b> Charles Frazier<br><b>Publisher:</b> Random House Trade<br><b>Published:</b> 06/12/2012<br><b>Pages:</b> 272<br><b>Binding Type:</b> Paperback<br><b>Weight:</b> 0.45lbs<br><b>Size:</b> 7.90h x 5.10w x 0.60d<br><b>ISBN:</b> 9780812978803<br><br><b>Review Citation(s): </b><br><i>New York Times Book Review</i> 07/22/2012 pg. 28<br><p><b>About the Author</b><br><b>Charles Frazier </b>grew up in the mountains of North Carolina.<i> Cold Mountain</i>, his highly acclaimed first novel, was an international best
