In small towns between the North Carolina Piedmont and the coast the best scenery is often in the sky. On flat sweeps of red clay and scrub pine the days move monotonously, safely, but above, in the blink of an eye, dangerous clouds can boil out of all four corners of the sky...The flat slow land starts to shiver and anything can happen.
In such a storm, on Annie Peregrine's seventh birthday, her father gave her the airplane and minutes later drove out of her life. Thus begins an enchanting novel that bursts with energy from the first pages, and sweeps you off on a journey of unforgettable characters, hilarious encounters, and haunting secrets.
The Four Corners of the Sky is master storyteller Michael Malone's new novel of love, secrets, and the mysterious bonds of families. Malone brings characters to life as only he can, exploring the questions that defy easy answers: Is love a choice or a calling? Why do the ties of family bind so tightly? And is forgiveness a gift to others...or a gift we give ourselves?
"Devoted Michael Malone fans have been waiting more than twenty years for another Handling Sin, perhaps the greatest road novel since Tom Jones. The wait is over..."
Bill Ott, editor-in-chief, Booklist
"Secrets and intrigues among the honeysuckle: a sun-washed yarn of the New South, affectionately told."

Four Corners of the Sky
Enjoyable but too long. Needed a really good edit... I think about 150 pages could easily have been ditched. Having said that, I enjoyed the tone of this book and the style of humor. This book was a "dramady", which I realized that I generally enjoy overall in both books and movies--it keeps the drama from getting too weighty and the comedy from getting too goofy. This book was well-balanced in that way. There were a couple characters that I found tedious though, and the parts of the plot involving the details of the father's cons I also found tedious. But I liked the little touches such as the Wizard of Oz references, and the unusual and unconventional family and friends the lead character had. I also liked how this book conveyed that even majorly imperfect family members (like the lead character's absent father) can have a large impact on someone's life.
