Inspired by a near-mythic event on the wild Florida frontier at the turn of the 20th century, Shadow Country re-imagines the legend of the inspired Everglades sugar planter and notorious outlaw E. J. Watson, who drives himself relentlessly toward his own violent end at the hands of neighbors who mostly admired him, in a killing that obsessed his favorite son.

A Novel Meant to Be Listened To
Revisado: 08-09-12
If you could sum up Shadow Country in three words, what would they be?
Compelling country storytelling.
What other book might you compare Shadow Country to and why?
Absolam, Absolam, by William Faulkner, as a tale of the deep south after the civil war.
Have you listened to any of Anthony Heald’s other performances before? How does this one compare?
No, but I think I should.
Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?
In three volumes, read in five parts, there are too many.
Any additional comments?
This if the first audio book I believe I would NOT prefer reading over listening. Heald is extraordinary in his ability to bring to life deep southern speech patterns, male and female, and the author's amazing choices of words and story-telling ability. Every bit makes me feel as though I'm sitting on a rural home's porch, listening to a colorful story teller.
