![]() The Melody of the Mulberries, by Tonya Jewel Blessing, is a strange and powerful tour through the souls of human decency and humanity staged during the 1920s in a very destitute part of the country. It is written in a style reminiscent of Caldwell's Tobacco Road, minus the salacious element. The novel continues the story of the Ashby family in the Appalachian holler during the 1920s. The author's first book, The Whispering of the Willows, sets the scene by introducing characters that are presented in this sequel in such a way that allows this novel to read as a stand-alone.
