Additional Details ------------------------------ Product description: Larry King wrote - "The best first novel I have read since William Stryon's Lie Down in Darkness". The a fortress of chiseled rocks between a kindly neighbor and a dour man; a barrier a solid stone between a gentle wife and a harsh husband; a rampart between dutiful children and their stern father. A fence to bolster a man's need for order in the midst of age and failure; a fence to insure immortality. A fence that becomes a living entity, bearing within Itself the threat and fact of death - death that, like a pin, bores through its seemingly impregnable wall to destroy its maker. In this finely honed novel, set in the backwoods of north central Texas, McGinnis tells a story of passion, vengence, and murder - a son for a son, a father for a daughter. But Mavis Ansley's obsession to build a fence brings with it not only hate, but faith, hope, and endurance; discipline as well as madness; reason as well as rage. Mavis's fence becomes an integral part of life - a magnificent fence that despite its worthlesness, can never crush the wonder of life.
