Book Description Hardcover. Condition: new. Hardcover. Set in fictional Fort Angus, Maine, Show Me Good Land tells the story of a small rural town struggling with poverty and decay after decades of prosperity. Loosely linked through a grisly murder, its characters must navigate the ambiguous moral landscape of a waning community. It is a moving, sometimes melancholy, often funny novel about family, community, loss, redemption, and coming home. The pleasure lies in exploring the personalities of the characters, none of whom are all good or all bad, and eventually deciding where the reader's own moral lines are drawn. Not since Carolyn Chute's The Beans of Egypt, Maine, has a cast of characters been so shocking, beautifully rendered, and ultimately likeable. From this portrait of a hard-scrabble rural community struggling with poverty and decay after decades of initial wealth and prosperity emerges four main characters: Odie Hollander in jail on domestic violence and drug charge; his cousin, manager of the gas station; Rhetta Ballou, returning after twenty years away; and Miles Compton, twenty-one, and gay. Loosely linked through one particular murder, none of the characters is fully good or bad, and the reader must decide where their personal moral lines exist.
