Publisher Description

Now back in print from the New York Times bestselling author of The Last Girls.

It was in 1833 or '34 that Moses Bailey brought young Kate Malone down to Cold Spring Holler to be his wife. But Moses, wanting to become a preacher like his daddy was, left Kate time and again to look after the kids while he went out in search of a sign from God. Though he warned them about the evils of playing the fiddle, a kind of music he likened to the devil's own laughter, it passed the time for his bride and children, and soon became not just a way of life for the Baileys, but a curse that would last for generations.

One of my favorites

I'm so glad this book is back in print. Lee Smith is a master of the Southern voice and each chapter of this book brings new insight to the story of a musical family through the generations. Poetic and beautiful and a true original in American lit.
