Tobacco Sun
Tobacco Sun | Lorna Hollifield
4 posts | 2 read | 4 to read
The year is 1947. The war is over, Jackie Robinson has just integrated baseball, and Frank Sinatra breezes in over the fuzzy airwaves. A sense of relief is finally sweeping the nation...everywhere except Tobaccoville, North Carolina. Beyond the rural fields that are pregnant with decades of secrets, a mysterious Hollywood pin-up is jailed for murder while her facially birthmarked half-sister may hold the answers as to why. The two girls, estranged for years, share a haunting past, a shell-shocked love interest, and maybe even a cruel destiny. Through mountains of lies, the truth that inevitably comes pouring out of the tobacco leaves will come to light. Will this light reveal the path to the siblings' foreordained destruction, or their long-awaited deliverance? Will they realize they each hold the power to set the other free before it's too late? A story of heritage, hurt, and somehow, hope; Tobacco Sun keeps you on the edge of your seat while you find yourself rooting for redemption.

Surprising southern gothic type story. Well written with characters who were very original and well thoughtout. Not at all what I expected.

"You never look back at a town burning to the ground - it'll turn you to ashes with it."

I loved this book. It was outside of what I normally read, but I liked that about it. Sydra was fascinating, and I was so sympathetic to Jimmi-Lyn and Vanse, and the way the stories were all wrapped up together was so good. Highly recommend, especially if you like southern fiction.

I've been slowly reading this one over the last week and a half. Southern fiction totally isn't my genre, but I've found the characters captivating and the story fascinating. Full review to come!
