Seller's Description:
Very Good. No Jacket as Issued. BW2-An advance reader's copy paperback book in very good condition that has some bumped corners, some scattered foxing, tanning and light shelf wear. 9"x6", 478 pages. Satisfaction Guaranteed. When the Pulitzer Prize-winning cartoonist Doug Marlette last turned to fiction, Valerie Sayers rejoiced in The Washington Post Book World: "The Bridge [is] a great story-exuberant, proud, myth-challenging-and Marlette has a great, Dickensian time with the telling." Pat Conroy saluted The Bridge as the finest first novel to come out of North Carolina since Look Homeward, Angel. Studs Turkel called it "enthralling." Kaye Gibbons marveled at its "extraordinary grace [and] humor." And the Southeast Booksellers Association gave The Bridge the 2002 Book Award for Fiction. Marlette's new novel, Magic Time, is a spellbinding stew of history, murder, courtroom drama, humor, love, betrayal, and justice. Moving between New York City and the New South of the early 1990s, with flashbacks to Mississippi's cataclysmic Freedom Summer of 1964, Magic Time tells the story of New York newspaper columnist Carter Ransom, a son of Mississippi, who had the great fortune and terrible luck of falling in love that summer of '64 with a New York-born civil rights worker who wound up being killed alongside three coworkers. Carter's father, the local judge, presided over the first trial of the murders. But now there's evidence that the original trial was flawed, even fraudulent. And the question, among many others, is whether the good judge was knowingly involved in a cover-up. Magic Time is that rare thing: a page-turner whose driving plot line is matched by the depth of its moral vision.

The summer of 1964 is vividly brought to life by Mr. Marlette. You are there with his characters. You feel what so many people, both black and white, felt while trying to find their way in those troublesome times. How events in those days affected one small town in Mississippi and how those events reverberate in the present make for a riveting story, told in a masterful fashion.
