A dauntless heroine coming of age at the turn of the twentieth century confronts
the hazards of patriarchy and prejudice, and discovers the unexpected
opportunities of World War I
Set in rural North Carolina between the Civil War and the Great War, Love and
Lament chronicles the hardships and misfortunes of the Hartsoe family.
Mary Bet, the youngest of nine children, was born the same year that the first
railroad arrived in their county. As she matures, against the backdrop of
Reconstruction and rapid industrialization, she must learn to deal with the
deaths of her mother and siblings, a deaf and damaged older brother, and her
father's growing insanity and rejection of God.
In the rich tradition of Southern gothic literature, John Milliken Thompson
transports the reader back in time through brilliant characterizations and
historical details, to explore what it means to be a woman charting her own
destiny in a rapidly evolving world dominated by men.
