  Fair and Tender Ladies

  by Lee Smith

  "This is about a moving a work of literature as has ever been written." ANNIE DILLARD The story of Ivy Rowe, spanning almost a century in the Virginia backwoods, is told completely through the letters that Ivy never stops writing over the course of her long and varied life. A remarkable portrait of a time, a place, and a person.
