Description:
Charles Alexander, a young man groomed from birth by his mother to be a Baptist minister, accidentally witnesses the murders. The killer is Hope Kirby, World War II hero, member of a large mountain clan of farmers, who has discovered his wife's infidelity. Although Kirby's code of honor requires that he exact vengeance, it won't allow him to kill an innocent bystander, so Charles goes free, promising not to tell what he's seen. But Charles does tell, and we watch, fascinated, as a trial, an appeal, and a new terror unleashed on the countryside draw the entire country into the action. An Affair of Honor is the story of a crime - a crime with so many unforeseeable repurcussions and nuances that it will take five decades to untangle. It is the story of a socitey's transformation at mid-century, the transformation on every level - spiritual, sexual, racial and politicial. For the scope of the narrative and the power of the prose, this great novel may be compared with Faulkner and Dostoevsky.
