Goodbye to the Buttermilk Sky
Goodbye to the Buttermilk Sky | Julia Oliver
1 post | 1 read
A beautifully narrated novel of time and place, Goodbye to the Buttermilk Sky re-creates a southern summer when the depression and the boll weevil turned hopes to dust. With the extraordinary talent to make the reader see the Ball canning jars on the kitchen table, hear the clicks on the party line, and feel the bittersweet moments of 20-year-old Callie Tatum's first experiences with adult desire, Oliver portrays a young wife's increasingly dangerous infidelity with cinematic precision and palpable suspense.

This may have been your typical story of a hot summer lusty out-of-their-minds affair, but it took place in Alabama in the 1930‘s between two married folks and had enough twists and and turns that I couldn‘t stop reading it. The writing was descriptive and reminded me so much of my time in Tennessee that i could envision the time and place without effort. Off my shelf and on to my number of books read for the Goodreads goal. Phew!
