Jemina

Anotace

Deliciously funny, 'Jemina' is one of those rare things: a story for a story's sake. Fifty years ago, way up in the mountains, the Tantrums and the Doldrums fell out over a game of slapjack. That feud has lasted since then, although the two families both run whiskey stills. Jemina Tantrum is hard at work when a captivating stranger appears. His desire to buy the Tantrums' property sets a disastrous chain of events in motion. The obvious humour aside, 'Jemina' is evocative of the lives and temperaments of 19th-century Americans.
