Serena by Ron Rash

4.0

I've had this book sitting on my shelf all year before finally getting around to it. George Pemberton is a timber baron who falls in love with Serena -- a woman who considers herself any man's equal, if not his superior. Pemberton brings Serena back to North Carolina and the timber camp he oversees, and she quickly becomes his partner in all matters both personal and business. However, there is something cold in Serena which she brings out in Pemberton. When the government tries to buy out or seize the camp for a national park, the Pembertons begin killing those who stand in their way. A visceral and real novel with touches of dark magic. Thoroughly enjoyed it.
