Summary
Holly is the story of a poor, white girl in 1944 North Carolina, whose lonely world is transformed by a handsome, educated black soldier from the war - and of the town's savage response to their romance. An indictment, a love story, and evocation of a time and place, it confirms Albert French as a dark and passionate chronicler of American mores and culture
Reviews
[Billy] may be the best first novel by a black author since Toni Morrison The Bluest Eye in 1969.
