Title: A literary view of the south
Review: This is the first novel by A.R. Siddons that I have read and I now plan to try her others.She paints a vivid picture of small town life without making it streotypical or cloying. The three main characters- Peyton, her father, and Nora all ring true. Nora's motivation is a little hard to understand and she seems a little over the top, nonetheless she brings light into Peyton's life and into the novel.Interstingly Nora, Nora frequently refers to To Kill a Mockingbird and Our Town and there are elements of both of them in her novel. For example characters deal with racism and the single father is reminiscent of Scout's dad in Mockingbird.This is a story of seeing and perception. The reader grows with Peyton as her view of her town, family, and herself are altered in this yesr of change.This is an interesting story. It seems short and I wondered what else will happen to these characters
