Walker Percy recommends

The Killing Ground (1982)
(Beulah Quintet, book 5)
Mary Lee Settle
"The Killing Ground is quite a book. It is a moving novel, peopled by fully realized characters, about the liberation -- in the best sense of that abused word -- of a remarkable woman."

Lives of the Saints (1985)
(Voices of the South, book 1)
Nancy Lemann
"A lovely nutty book about a lovely nutty girl... Hilarious, haunting, poignant."
