Description
Set in North Carolina, the novel revolves around five people inhabiting the same house: the boy Jan; his retarded sister, Timmy; a long-suffering mother; crude, surly Uncle Hake; and redheaded Lora Bowen, the housemaid. Conflicts among the members lead to a climax of high-pitched intensity and violence.
