Adam, a black man in the segregated South, shares with Marcellus the haunting memory of David Ransom's murder on the mighty Ocmulgee River. The memories interweave with a quarter century of Marcellus Hightower's quest for love and redemption, through his developing character, economic calamity and the turmoil of war. With Adam's sage guidance, he finds a way to \"cleanse his heart\" and face life anew.\u003cp\u003e\"DEVIL'S ELBOW is a powerful novel indeed. The old verities-a man's troubles with women, with himself, with love and guilt-are all treated as freshly as if Cheney had discovered them.\" Walker Percy (1969)\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"MMJW BookHouse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50085850382576,"sku":"9780983936565","price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/9780983936565","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
