Will Weaver casts the reader into the center of an interracial land
dispute in this timeless novel.
Having fled his family's farm at eighteen with a promise never to
return, Guy Pehrsson is drawn back into his past when he receives his
grandfather's ominous letter, "Trouble here. Come home when you can." He
returns to discover a place both wholly familiar and barely recognizable
and is cast into the center of an interracial land dispute with the
exigencies of war.
Widely acclaimed when first published in the eighties, the timeless
novel Red Earth, White Earth showcases Will Weaver's rough ease with
language and storytelling, frankly depicting life's uneven terrain and
crooked paths.
