And now, a little under a month since I set out, I've come to the end of the Blackwater saga and the story of the Caskey family. This series sweeps you up like a dark tide, deposits you on high ground for awhile, then comes back and washes away everything and everyone you got to know while you were there. It's a beautiful, sharp, unforgettable story that I'm going to spend so much time fruitlessly trying to convince people to read. Because a Southern Gothic epic about an amphibious fish woman marrying into a rich family might be a hard sell, but it's one of the best stories I've ever read.
