Summary
Summary
Hillary Jordan's mesmerizing debut novel won the Bellwether Prize for fiction. A powerful piece of Southern literature, Mudbound takes on prejudice in its myriad forms on a Mississippi Delta farm in 1946. City girl Laura McAllen attempts to raise her family despite questionable decisions made by her husband. Tensions continue to rise when her brother-in-law and the son of a family of sharecroppers both return from WWII as changed men bearing the scars of combat.Editorial Reviews

“[A] poignant and moving debut novel…Jordan faultlessly portrays the values of the 1940s as she builds to a stunning conclusion. Highly recommended.” —Library Journal
“[A] beautiful debut… A superbly rendered depiction of the fury and terror wrought by racism.” —Publishers Weekly
