House of Daercini

This is a story about three kinds of silence — the silence of a man who chooses not to look, a mother who cannot find the words, and a hunter who refuses to let feeling change her aim — and about what it costs when all three silences hold until there is no longer any time left to break them. Written in the tradition of Southern Gothic literary fiction, House of Daercini is a novel about belonging, blood, and the particular cruelty of arriving somewhere too late to stay.
