The Improper Life of Bezellia Grove by Susan Gregg Gilmore

3.0

Another great Southern novel from Gilmore, with a little more grit than Looking for Salvation at the Dairy Queen. Bezellia belongs to a well-known Southern family, so a lot of things are expected of her. Instead, she falls in love with the hired help, who happens to be black. More tough issues are tackled in this book, and there is not a happy ending, but the flash forwards scattered throughout work great as hints to what happens when the book ends.
