Summary

A BookRiot Pick of Best Series on Audio

Critically acclaimed author Silas House's A Parchment of Leaves was named Kentucky Novel of the Year and won a special achievement award from the Fellowship of Southern Writers. In 1917 rural Kentucky, Saul Sullivan marries a beautiful Cherokee woman named Vine. They weather the storm of prejudice, but when Saul temporarily moves away to work a better job, his younger brother makes advances on Vine that are not welcome and ultimately lead to tragedy. Publishers Weekly praises House's "lovely storytelling, graceful prose, strong characters and his feel for Southern rural life."

Editorial Reviews

Editorial Reviews

“Seamless…entrancing in the manner of a vivid dream.” Newsday
“Breathtaking for both its beauty and its pain…A superb combination of wonder and suffering.” Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
“Beginning with A Parchment of Leaves, we follow a family living in the same Kentucky holler for 80 years. This trilogy became a bestseller when it was first published in the early 2000s, putting Appalachian literature in the spotlight in a way rarely before seen. I recently marathoned this series in a single week, savoring every moment of Kate Forbes’s and Tom Stechschulte’s performances. Silas House’s characters feel so natural, and well-rounded, creating such a vibrant story over the course of almost 30 hours of audio. Book Riot
