●  Review:  What is a cove?  It is a safe harbor, secure from heavy winds and storms.  Just so is the cove in this tale set in pre WWII South Carolina.  Laurel, with her birthmark......Hank, her brother, with his amputated hand....and suddenly also, Walter, from Germany who makes beautiful music on his flute.  However, the ugly winds of war reach into the cove to disrupt the peace.  Well written, sweet, and tough.  I like Ron Rash's writing, his characters, and his style.
