Praise for Pam Durban: "Pam Durban renders her characters and their world with such rich and beautiful complexity that the only fair response to someone asking what it's about is to press the book into their hands and insist they read it." -- Tommy Hays, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution"A graceful, poignant, and ultimately satisfying story." -- Charles Sermon, The State"Haunting and irresistible... Durban has written a splendid, engrossing, and, above all, deeply thoughtful novel that will linger in readers' minds long after they close its cover." -- Elizabeth Fox-Genovese, Oxford American"Durban's carefully managed cast of characters -- antebellum aristocrats, slave families and their descendants in the modern South -- are drawn with subtle grace, producing a narrative of compelling intensity." -- Publishers Weekly
