Hello All,
I just finished The Legend of Quito Road, the debut novel by Dwight Fryer. The book is off the chain! The novel takes place in the 1930s a small southern town named Lucy which has generations of secrets that come to a head with illegitimate babies, adultery, backstabbing and money grabbing people. All of this centers around the descendants of Gilliam Hale, a former free, black runaway slave who knew how to make good whiskey. It's an excellent novel with a beautiful cover. By all means check it out. |

Thumper,
Thanks for shouting out about this title -- I got a copy at BEA and have just finished it - -it was TIGHT - I loved the character development and the fact that there is another installment coming in 2008 - Dwight Fryer and I talked about his next work and this initial work - he is definately one to watch.
And can you believe - through our virtual relationship and knowing me -- this exciting historical novel with cursing did not upset my conservative sensibilities - smile --
It is a MUST READ for everyone and anyone searching for a good story with sex, love, lust, murder, history, heritage, and hope -- peace
