All Aunt Hagar's Children - Excerpt

"Edward P. Jones has filled this collection of stories with people who call Washington, D.C., home. All Aunt Hagar's Children turns an eye to the men, women, and children caught between the old ways of the South and the temptations that await them further north, people who in Jones's masterful hands, emerge as fully human and morally complex, whether they are country folk used to getting up with the chickens or people with centuries of education behind them."
