Charles Frazier has created his most memorable heroine yet in Luce, a young woman who suddenly inherits her murdered sister’s troubled twins. Set in the early 1960s, Luce was content to live apart from the world, outside a small town in North Carolina. But the arrival of the children changes everything for her— taking her easy, solitary life and turning it upside down, making it di;cult and even dangerous. Known for bringing vivid characters to life, Frazier does it again with his dazzling new novel.
