South Carolina

The pristine waters of Lake Jocassee and a casual stroll through Charleston suggest an amiable heritage. But the Palmetto State has often been the epicenter of struggle that includes the brave souls pushing for change during the civil rights era and the patriots fighting for independence at the Battle of Kings Mountain. Fort Sumter history is defined by the ignition of the Civil War and even idyllic Daufuskie played host to pirates. Explore our South Carolina history books, from the frenetic drama of a state hospital to the coordination of Clemson’s football dynasty. [View all South Carolina books]

The scene is Charleston, South Carolina; the time, the 1920s, when old ladies dream of the past and a strange new dance, "the Charleston," is seducing the youth of the city. Years later, whispers emerge of something baffling and tragic that happened back then. As an old man confronts those demanding the truth, we catch brilliant flashes of the confrontation between the dark, doomed Hirsch Hess, son of immigrants, and the fantastically ethereal Ned Grimke, a scion of the city.

Told in intoxicatingly beautiful prose, this story of passion, beauty and the deadly effects of sexual repression takes us to a specific time and place, yet simultaneously blossoms as a universal tale of the human heart in conflict with its era.



This cult classic, set in the most intriguing period of one of America's most beautiful cities, is now restored to print with an afterword by its author that traces the facts upon which it is based.
