About this book✨
A Southern novel, this book follows Rhoda—privileged, restless, and accusingly self-aware—as she spirals through a mid-century life that looks perfect on the surface but leaves her hollow inside. Set in 1950s Mississippi, the novel offers a portrait of inherited apathy, internalized powerlessness, and the inertia that keeps injustice alive.

Condition✨
Good condition vintage paperback. Some general wear to the cover, but interior remains clean and fully intact. A compelling, character-driven read.
