He seeks answers, turning for help to Adam Atwell, his surrogate father. Adam, a black man in the segregated South, shares with Marcellus the haunting memory of David Ransom's murder on the mighty Ocmulgee River. The memories interweave with a quarter century of Marcellus Hightower's quest for love and redemption, through his developing character, economic calamity and the turmoil of war. With Adam's sage guidance, he finds a way to \"cleanse his heart\" and face life anew. \"DEVIL'S ELBOW is a powerful novel indeed. The old verities-a man's troubles with women, with himself, with love and guilt-are all treated as freshly as if Cheney had discovered them.\" Walker Percy (1969)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Brainard Cheney\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0983936560\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780983936565\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Mmjw Bookhouse\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 10\/18\/2012\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 262\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 1.16lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.21h x 6.14w x 0.63d","brand":"Brainard Cheney","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":44120517968127,"sku":"9780983936565","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_a0efc4d0-c119-4c2e-9555-7ae6611287b7.jpg?v=1687414763","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/devils-elbow-brainard-cheney-9780983936565","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
