The South killed Lucy Bondurant Chastain Venable on the day she was born. It just took her until now to die. It was a textbook murder, classical in concept, faultless is execution; a work of art, really, as such things go. And no wonder. It's what we do best, kill our women. Or maim them. Or make monsters of them, which may be the worst of all. - Peachtree Road [Books (First Lines)] You know how people are always saying "I knew it by the back of my neck" when they mean those occasional scalding slashes of human intuition that later prove to be true?
