Eloquent, wise, and heartbreaking. -- Publishers Weekly Morgan's simple, eloquent language grounds the story in a tough farm life, his language pulses with poetry. -- The Washington Post Book World Morgan writes with an authority usually associated with the great novelists of the last centurey...this book is astonishing. -- The Boston Book Review Set on the same ground and in the same time as Cold Mountain, The Truest Pleasure is a transcendent, critically acclaimed love story by one of America's finest writers. Ginny and Tom have a practical marriage. Tom wants land to call his own, and Ginny knows she can't manage her aging father's farm by herself. They enjoy a mutual attraction that sometimes grows into a deeply gratifying love, but their obsessions always, inevitably, end up in the way. Tom's obsession is easy to understand. He's a workaholic who hoards time and money. Ginny's is less predictable. That she loses control of her dignity, that she speaks in tongues, that she is saved, seems to her a blessing and to Tom a disgrace. It's not until Tom lies at the mercy of a disease for which the mountain doctor has no cure that Ginny realizes her truest pleasure. A Publishers Weekly Best Book
