Ginny, Who Marries Tom At The Turn Of The Century After Her Family Has Given Up On Her Ever Marrying, Narrates The Truest Pleasurethe Story Of Their Life Together On Her Father'S Farm In The Western North Carolina Mountains. They Have A Lot In Commonlove Of The Land And Fathers Who Fought In The Civil War. Tom'S Father Died In The War, But Ginny'S Father Came Back To Western North Carolina To Hold On To The Farm And Turn A Profit. Ginny'S Was A Childhood Of Relative Security, Tom'S One Of Landlessness. Truth Be Knownand They Both Know Ittheir Marriage Is Mutually Beneficial In Purely Practical Terms. Tom Wants Land To Call His Own. Ginny Knows She Can'T Manage Her Aging Father'S Farm By Herself. But There Is Also Mutual Attraction, And Indeed Their Loving Is Deeply Gratifying. What Keeps Getting In The Way Of It, Though, Are Their Obsessions. Tom Powell'S Obsession Is Easy To Understand. He'S A Workaholic Who Hoards Time And Money. Ginny Is Obsessed By Pentecostal Preaching. That She Loses Control Of Her Dignity, That She Speaks In Tongues, That She Is Saved, Seem To Her A Blessing And To Tom A Disgrace. It'S Not Until Tom Lies Unconscious And At The Mercy Of A Disease For Which The Mountain Doctor Has No Cure That Ginny Realizes Her Truest Pleasure Is Her Love For Her Husband. Like Cold Mountain, The Time And Place Of The Truest Pleasure Are Remote From Contemporary American Life, But Its Rendering Of The Nature Of Marriage Is Timeless And Universal.
