Incident at the Edge of Bayonet Woods

"Incident at the Edge of Bayonet Woods begins with a speaker invoking her dead father, and unfolds as a kind of mystery novel. Spanning decades, and set on a decrepit, inherited farm in Pennsylvania, the daughter and father navigate the poverty of their environment and their own troubled relationship. Details of the father's murder are gradually uncovered, and we eventually learn that he was killed by a trusted laborer. The speaker lives with this violence on the farm as an adult, while contending with her own fears, the fallibility of memory, and the voices of ancestors who once occupied this homestead."--BOOK JACKET.Bohince, Paula is the author of 'Incident at the Edge of Bayonet Woods', published 2008 under ISBN 9781932511628 and ISBN 1932511628.
