Eon Alden, City Lights publicist says of The Cove, "Laurel Shelton and her brother live in a cove considered by many to be cursed. Crops fail, untimely deaths occur and little light ever trickles down into their plot of land. Their lives are largely isolated until Laurel discovers a mysterious and mute stranger playing the flute in the nearby woods.
Set during the final months of WWI in the Appalachians of North Carolina, The Cove is a book that reveals the nature of humans to quickly ostracize those not like themselves and how easily people will demonize a group of people amid the fever of war. Like all of his work it is beautifully written but it is these themes that, for me, set it above his other novels."
