About
The seven stories in Jordan County move backward in time, from 1950 to 1797, and through the lives of diverse characters. With a deep knowledge of the ways in which history shapes human lives, and sometimes warps them beyond repair, Foote gives us a work of fiction that is resolutely unique.

Reviews
"Mr. Foote's writing is marvelously exact and positive. His attitude toward his people is respectful and human, as though he had thought about them a great deal and knew too much about them to take them for granted."
New Yorker
"All [of the stories] are worth listeners' attention…for Foote's carefully crafted language and for Tom Parker's exquisite narration…He becomes the voices of the South and provides a strong accompaniment to Foote's fine prose."
