Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Jenifer
A young man was fishing on the The brown, clear current of the river sang under the stern of his boat, and went rushing, dark and cypress-stained, down by bold woods which marched to the brink of the water and studded the bed of the river with gnarled cypress-knees, on where the land was low and rushes grew, where the waters split about the islet Blackbeard loved, and out to the wide blue sound. Back by the boat, up in the heart of the swamp land, the sun glinted deep yellow in the ripples about the sun-grayed stumps, whose crowns had been wafted down the easy river road. It gleamed upon feathery shoots of the denuded trees, upon the mistletoe which nested in their tangles, and on the man, lazy, content, and blissful, in the flat bateau.
