Praise for Necessary Lies
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 24 years ago
To say this book inspired a murder is stretching reason and fact. In Daugherty's novel the so called murder--actually an act of desperation--the means of death is fire. Daugherty hardly invented fire! There is no way this book caused a murder.A very good novel. Wonderful descriptions of Georgia swamp country. I recommend it.
Superb novel of family secrets in the deep South.
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 25 years ago
Always swift-moving and sometimes terrifying, yet touched with small-town comedy and alert to all sorts of family subtleties, this novel offers piercing insights into today's deep South. Janice Daugharty knows all the hushed beauties of the piney woods on the Georgia-Florida border, and every last snake hiding in the leaves as well. Young love has rarely been so scary, or so strangely redemptive, as it is in "Necessary Lies." Everybody must start reading Janice Daugharty right now!
