Description
The Wettest County in the World is a gripping tale of bootlegging, revenge and remorse. During Prohibition, Franklin County was awash in moonshine, with the Bondurant Boys at its heart. Based on the true story of Matt Bondurant's grandfather and two granduncles, this book brings to life the dark deeds, long silences and deep desires of these men. Their story is one of brotherhood, greed and murder, forged in the fires of bootlegging and war. The eldest brother, Forrest, is fierce and the consummate businessman; Howard, the middle brother, is an ox besieged by horrors witnessed in the Great War; and Jack, the youngest, has a taste for luxury and a dream to escape. Driven and haunted, these men struggle to stay afloat as their world crumbles around them. In vivid prose, Matt Bondurant paints a picture of life on the edge, where the line between brotherhood and betrayal is constantly blurred.
