Cementville : A Novel Paperback / softback

Paperback / softback

Item not Available

Description

Cementville has a breathtaking set up: 1969. A small Kentucky town, known only for its excellent bourbon and passable cement, direct from the factory that gives the town its name.

The favored local sons of Cementville's most prominent families all joined the National Guard hoping to avoid the draft and the killing fields of Vietnam.

They were sent to combat anyway, and seven boys were killed in a single, horrific ambush.The novel opens as the coffins are making their way home, along with one remaining survivor, the now-maimed town quarterback recently rescued from a Vietnamese prison camp.

Yet the return of the bodies sets off something inside of the town itself � a sense of violence, a political reality, a gnawing unease with the future � and soon, new bodies start turning up around town, pushing the families of Cementville into further alienation and grief.
