Description
x"The Ancient Hours [...] packs a wallop" --New York Times Book Review "The Ancient Hours is brilliant." --Bud Smith, author of Work "Bible is a fantastic writer." --Kevin Wilson, author of Nothing to See Here
Harmony, North Carolina is a typical town--full of saints and sinners you can't tell apart... Its history echoes with lynchings and shootings; mob violence and vigilante justice. But those are just whispers of a past lost to time. The summer of 2000 was different. Iggy in the Baptist church. Gasoline and a match. Twenty-five people dead. This, Harmony couldn't forget. Told in a kaleidoscope of timelines and voices, Michael Bible examines every dimension of a tragic but all-too-American story in The Ancient Hours. The victims, witnesses, perpetrators, and condemned comingle and evolve as the passage of time works its way through their lives. What emerges is a fable of the American South in the highest tradition: soaring, tragic, and eternally striving for redemption.
