North Carolina gothic, with warmth and humor

Refreshingly different and not easy to categorize, this well-paced novel was a very enjoyable and quick read. A 50-something English professor (with more than her fair share of personal troubles in recent years), Georgia returns to her small-town North Carolina home with son and pregnant girlfriend in tow. She soon finds herself investigating the death of an elderly cousin, finding romance with a family friend, and exploring her own feelings about family, responsibility, and community. I have not yet read Littlejohn, the author's earlier novel that involved some of the same people and places, but was still able to quickly become involved with the characters and story.
