Mountain Justice
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 23 years ago
From the hung jury at the opening that releases Buck Price for the second time to the final rendering of "mountain justice," The Sound of Distant Thunder takes command with Appalachian authenticity. The voice is true, the justice horrifying, the perpetrator a real surprise. There is a pattern here; it's good, down to earth writing. If you like a read that rings true to human nature, The Sound of Distant Thunder is for you.
Excellent on several levels; appalachian novel, love story +

This book is a success as a love story and a suspense novel. It's greatest success is as an appalachian novel. Specifically the characters are very well drawn mountain people. Highly enjoyable book.

One will soon understand why The Sound of Distant Thunder won the 1999 Book of the Year Award of the Appalachian Writers Association. It's an honest book about folks who live in the hills and coves of Western North Carolina. Sharyn McCrumb's books tell about the mountains in a fair and straightforward way, and so does this book. You will find The Sound of Distant Thunder an excellent read.
