What is The last days of Dogtown : a novel about?

xiv, 263 pages : 23 cm Set on Cape Ann in the early 1800s, [this book] is peopled by widows, orphans, spinsters, scoundrels, whores, free Africans, and "witches." ... Among the inhabitants of Dogtown are Black Ruth, an African woman who dresses as a man and works as a stone mason; Mrs. Stanley, an imperious madam whose grandson, Sammy, comes of age in her rural brothel; Oliver Younger, who survives a miserable childhood at the hands of a very strange aunt; and Cornelius Finson, a freed slave whose race denies him everything. At the center of it all is Judy Rhines, a fiercely independent soul, deeply lonely, who nonetheless builds a life for herself and inspires those around her to become more generous and tolerant themselves.-Dust jacket Originally published: 2005 The death of Abraham Wharf -- An unexpected visit -- Greyling -- Tammy Younger's toothache -- Strange sightings -- Stanwood reformed -- The lost girls -- Oliver Younger's heart -- Departure -- Cornelius -- His own man -- Easter and Ruth -- A last wish
