HOME FIRES BURNING
"A wonderfully readable novel Inman draws his small-town charac-
ters as smoothly and accurately as a Norman Rockwell cover for the
Saturday Evening Post But this is not Mayberry. Nobody here is a
stick figure. All live and breathe and love and care deeply."
-- Wayne Greenhaw, Atlanta Journal-Constitution
"Home Fires Burning has scope, variety, humor, zest, and a refreshing
ambition It is anyone s good book, and for a first novel it is
remarkable." -- Fred Chappell, Washington Post
"Home Fires Burning largely succeeds in causing the reader to care about
a town and its people and a way of life long gone Many of these
characters and much of Mr. Inman s picture of Southern life during
World War II are well done and engaging."
-- Tom Wicker, New York Times Book Review
"A truly remarkable fiction about the effect of World War II on a small
Southern town." -- Dennis Beck, Fort Worth Star-Telegram
"Home Fires Burning is a dense, rich, generous-spirited first novel ...
with a rewarding intensity." -- Kirkus Reviews
"Inman is very much a Southern writer. As in William Faulkner and
Flannery O Connor, Reynolds Price and Peter Taylor, place is conjured
with precision and poetry The story is full of local customs and
good, sharp talk of family secrets and family curses and of ancestors who
are more than just oval portraits on the parlor mantel -- they re ghosts,
eternally present, sometimes visible, even vocal This is an old-
fashioned novel- dramatic, sometimes melodramatic, teeming with
incidents and epiphanies I d wager it s one of the best American
novels of the year." -- Tom De Haven, Philadelphia Inquirer
