Not for me. The prose was way too flowery and over the top. This book could have easily been half the length. Very difficult to finish.

Great and gripping start, mediocre middle, decent ending. 
I think the slow pace in the book turned me off from the story for some time. I thought about dropping the book a few times but I continued. 
I did enjoy the last few pages. 
Would I read it again? No. Would I recommend it? To some people. 
I wouldn't mind trying out this author again.

This was a dark book to read and the stuff movies get made of, but it’s actually an important treatise on the state of the South even today where many Whites still yearn for the days of Jim Crow and Black oppression.
