Tongues of Flame by Mary Brown
This collection of short stories seeks to depict the changing relationships between black and white southerners, the impact of the civil rights movement, and the emergence of the New South. Brown constructs her characters in a plain style while breathing life into them with compassion and honesty.
"In prose as pure as branch water, Mary Ward Brown captures the complex changes in the New South" - People Magazine "Tongues of Flame is well written and delivered in a measured, caring voice." - New York Times "Brown's stories are about old Southerners; not really beached and not quite derelict, but with little room for maneuvering in the low water that remains after the tide has mostly run out." - Los Angeles Times"
Mary Ward Brown is an award-winning writer who lives in her family home in Browns, Alabama
