What is A Place to Call Home about?
Deborah Smith's is one of the most imaginative and appealing new voices in Southern fiction. In the tradition of Fried Green Tomatoes, the nationally bestselling author offers a deliciously original new novel that will make you laugh one moment and then move you to tears--an irresistible Southern saga that chronicles a love as innocent as a child's and as powerful as that of two star-crossed lovers can be."I planned to be the kind of old Southern lady who talks to her tomato plants and buys sweaters for her cats. I'd be deliberately peculiar. I'd wear bright red lipstick and tell embarrassing true stories about my family, and people would say, I heard she was always a little funny, if you know what I mean. They wouldn't understand why, and I didn't intend to tell them."At thirty, Claire Maloney knows her life has become a major-league wreck. And she knows why it all started falling apart, too. Because Roan Sullivan was banished from Dunderry, Georgia, twenty years ago, and Claire hasn't heard from him since. She was only ten then, and Roan fifteen, but what happened to the two of them is the stuff of local legend, as vivid and dramatic as anything can be in a small town wher
