A Story of Deep Delight (Contemporary American Fiction)

Trama

At midcentury Sylvester Woodson, a Candide-like stable boy in love with his master's octoroon mistress, comes to a fitful awareness of the raging Civil War and the world beyond the plantation. A century later Woodlaw Corelli, a descendant of Sylvester's owner, an artist haunted by a disintegrating marriage and the disintegrating landscape of his childhood, struggles for order in a world of chaos and contradiction.
