I've never felt a need to sit down and write a recommendation to anyone about a particular book...but someone just has to get the word out on this fascinating novel about money, power, prestige, mystery, and love. Absolutely riveting. I am not promoting this book. It goes beyond that. This is entertainment in its purest form. Mr. Hunter has enthralled me with Birthmark... His indelible stamp of intrigue and descriptive style put his talents among a well-known few. Mr. Hunter has obviously lived and loved the South. Birthmark is breathless. Surely this formidable, new literary talent would not invite us onto his verandah for such a refreshing glass of sweet tea without offering us a refill. And, by the way, Mr. Hunter, the recipe is perfect. Just stir it for us one more time again.
A gripping, sexy, tumultuous tale of passion and deceit!

An evocative, spellbinding story .

Beautifully written, with a rare insight into a southern way of life. If there is any justice and/or taste in Hollywood, some producer will get smart and jump on this one. I want more!
A great tale of deep love.

birthmark is a wonderful book. it follows the life of a beautiful woman who has been raised in the opulent and genteel surroundings of old southern money i really liked her and was surprised at how so a seemingly spoiled and pampered woman could rise to very adverse situations. underlying the entire story is Lilla's deep love for a man who doesn't deserve it. in the end, lilla goes through amazing , dangerous, and horrifying situations...all manipulated by a mysterious and disgusting billionariess. a great, great read.
