Book Review of Family Linen

Family Linen
Family Linen
Author: Lee Smith
Genre: Literature & Fiction
Book Type: Paperback


A childhood memory relived through hypnosis, the death of a mother, long held family secrets told by each of the main characters themselves and how they saw it. Well written southern gothic, with pathos and humor and the airing of dirty linen. Good character development, tho it was confusing at times as it jumped from character to character, sometimes without any preamble. It will definitely hold your interest up to the end.
