Graveyard Working: A Novel

Rating:
Summary: you'll never forget it
Review: A Southern gothic novel if you ever read one, this book features two aging sisters who live together -- and live for the annual "graveyard working" (cleaning the cemetery), which is their small town's best time. A memorable, moving and horrifying scene that involves bees (I won't spoil it for you) will stick with you, believe me. Gerald Duff has a keen ear for the southern drawl and renders characters so real you'll think about them later, as you would dear old friends. This book might be getting far off the new releases list, but it's well worth a fresh look.
