Sing Down the Moon by Robert GwaltneyRead about the other novels on the list.
Gwaltney’s second book is a masterclass in the Southern Gothic fever dream. A steamy, blurred reality propels protagonist Leontyne Skye into adolescence and on her quest to both embrace and escape her family legacy. There are haints, fantastical characters and magic potions, all entangled in a bleak but romantic reality. The atmosphere and setting are so immersive that one has to shake oneself back into reality after putting the book down.
