Synopsis
Derek Robinson tells the story of a small pioneer community in deepest Kentucky across a century from its founding in the 1820s, through the Civil War, to the dawn of the modern age. Following several generations of two unreconcilable families: the Hudds and the Killicks, Robinson creates a gallery of unforgettable characters and delivers a powerful and wholly persuasive account of the transition from slavery to relative freedom for the former slaves of each clan.

From the Publisher
Derek Robinson’s taut, masterful portraits of combat have established him as one of the top writers of war fiction. In Kentucky Blues, his longest and most ambitious novel to date, he sets himself a new challenge: to tell the story of a small pioneer community in deepest Kentucky across a century—from its founding in the 1820s, through the Civil War, to the dawn of the modern age. Following several generations of feuding families—the Hudds and the Killicks—Robinson creates a gallery of unforgettable characters, delivering a powerful account of the transition from slavery to provisional freedom for the former slaves of each clan. It is a bravura performance from a great modern storyteller at the top of his form.
