Talmadge Farm

Leo Daughtry

Sinopse

"An earnest historical novel...a thoughtful meditation on the inexorability of change, and what happens when justice results in a redistribution of success." — Kirkus Reviews 
“...a classic. This is a story of triumph and tragedy, of good and evil, and finally reconciliation. A true morality play.” — Gene Hoots, former tobacco executive and author of Going Down Tobacco Road 
A LOVE LETTER TO THE AMERICAN SOUTH 
A STORY OF RESILIENCE, HOPE, AND FAMILY—BOTH LOST AND FOUND 
It's 1957, and tobacco is king. Wealthy landowner Gordon Talmadge enjoys the lavish lifestyle he inherited but doesn't like getting his hands dirty; he leaves that to the two sharecroppers - one white, one Black - who farm his tobacco but have bigger dreams for their own children. While Gordon takes no interest in the lives of his tenant farmers, a brutal attack between his son and the sharecropper children sets off a chain of events that leaves no one unscathed. Over the span of a decade, Gordon struggles to hold on to his family's legacy as the old order makes way for a New South. 
A sweeping drama that follows three unforgettable families navigating the changing culture of North Carolina at a pivotal moment in history, readers have been raving that Talmadge Farm is one they cannot put down. Perfect for fans of Wiley Cash and Amor Towles.
