“An exceptionally written novel about the South. There's an allegorical undertone of Jesus Christ through the course of the narrative, with one of the main characters aptly named Joe Christmas (J.C). Fortunately, the symbolism stays in the background for the most part so the plot can develop unimpeded.”
