"I first read this novel in the 1980s and I have reread it more times than any other book. It is a very simple story about a couple that meet, marry, raise children and die in the tobacco farming region of Appalachia. In between the chapters, it tells a story of the Decatur Road and how it changes over time - from rutted muddy track to pavement and eventually shiny diners and, finally, even the shiny diners are abandoned. The metaphors matter but aren't overdrawn. The writing is simple. All the people in the book are alive to me - particularly the basic kindness of the two main characters.
