In \u003cem\u003eClay's Quilt\u003c\/em\u003e, now a touchstone for his many fans, House takes us to Free Creek, Kentucky, where a motherless young man forges his path to adulthood, surrounded by ancient mountains and his blood relatives and adopted kin: his Aunt Easter tied to her faith and foreboding nature; his Uncle Paul, the quilter; the wild girls Evangeline and Alma; and a fiddler whose music calls to Clay's heart. As he struggles to stitch up the void created by his mother's death, Clay pieces together his own life's quilt, all masterfully wrought by House.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eBlair brings this novel into a beautiful new paperback edition, along with two other Silas House novels, \u003ci\u003eA Parchment of Leaves\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eThe Coal Tattoo\u003c\/i\u003e. The three novels, which share a common setting and some characters, are companion novels. They may be read individually, in any order, but collectively, they form a rich tableau of life in rural mountain Kentucky in the last century.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSilas House is the \u003ci\u003eNew York Times\u003c\/i\u003e bestselling author of six novels, one book of creative nonfiction, and three plays.
