Annotation
Retired school teacher Charlotte Graves goes up against a senior manager at Union Atlantic bank, who's built a monstrous mansion on land Charlotte's grandfather had donated to the town. Sure, bankers are an easy target. But as his debut story collection was both a best seller and a Pulitzer Prize and National Book Award finalist, Haslett has the stuff to pull this off. With a six-city tour.
