Shelby Foote's magnificently orchestrated novel anticipates much of the subject matter of his monumental Civil War trilogy, rendering the clash between North and South with a violence even more shocking because of its intimacy.
Love in a Dry Season describes an erotic and economic triangle, where two wealthy and fantastically unhappy Mississippi families, the Barcrofts and the Carrutherses, are joined by an open-faced fortune hunter from the North, a man whose ruthlessness is matched only by his inability to comprehend individuals he tries to exploit and his fatal incomprehension of the passions he so casually ignites.
Combining a flawless sense of place with a Faulknerian command of the grotesque, Foote's novel turns a tiny cotton town into a sexual battleground as fatal as Vicksburg or Shiloh, and one where strategy is no match for instinct and tradition.
