She lives in Montgomery, Alabama.Product DescriptionFifteen years after their sister disappears, Gertrude, Lola, and Kathleen return to their rural Alabama home to determine the identity of a newly discovered skeleton.From Library JournalSet in Alabama in the early 1900s, Oliver's second novel (after Goodbye to the Buttermilk Sky) is the story of the four Hollowell sisters: Gertrude, Kathleen, Rhoda, and Lola. The family once had money but is now landrich and cashpoor. Gertrude, the oldest, is destined by her ambitious mother to attend college and marry 'well' in order to save the family property. Kathleen and Rhoda are understandably resentful of this favoritism. Lola, the youngest and dreamiest child, is blissfully unaware of the family drama surrounding her. When spunky Rhoda disappears after their father's death, the family is too embarrassed to tell anyone, including the local authorities. When their mother dies, wounds are opened that will keep the remaining sisters apart until the discovery of human remains at the old family gristmill. Are the bones those of the missing Rhoda? Alabama native Oliver has drawn an interesting portrait of family filled with resentment, repression, and frustration working toward an uneasy reconciliation. In the Southern Gothic tradition, her most sympathetic characters spend more time among the headstones at the cemetery than among the living. The writing, though, is marred by several anachronisms, and the characters' interior monologs seem too modern for a novel set in 1918. For libraries with large collections of Southern regional writing. Pam Kingsbury, Alabama Humanities Fnd., FlorenceCopyright 2001 Reed Business Information, Inc.
