Summary: A poignant story of life in the South
Comment: One of the best southern authors of our time! Janice Daugharty's WHISTLE will keep you in suspense until the end. Two families struggle with a tragedy that brings them together in a way they have never known before. Intertwined in this struggle are family secrets, paranoia and the desire to do the right thing. This is a poignant story of life in the South, well depicted by Ms. Daugharty and experienced by those of us who have lived here. Put this book at the top of your reading list. Also, if you ever get a chance to meet Ms. Daugharty at a book signing, GO! She is bright, charming, witty, a fine storyteller and has a deep appreciation for her fans.

Summary: Poignant tour-de-force, a delicate blend of poetry and prose
Comment: It has been months--maybe years--since I found such unfettered satisfaction in reading a work of fiction. Daugharty's captivating depictions of south Georgia's people may not be as fully appreciated by those who have not lived and grown up there, but I, for one, know first-hand what a masterful job she has done. The dialogue of Roper, Louise, Bloop and Beanie, the descriptions of the quarters, the mannerisms, fears, and emotions of the blacks--all are brilliant and totally realistic portrayals of the way things were and are, and the character of Louise is one of the strongest, most vibrant women I've ever met in a novel. If Oprah and her staff would get on the ball and ferret out Whistle for one of her monthly selections, she would be performing an invaluable service for the reading public by bringing Janice Daugharty, a major talent in southern literature, to the limelight.
