To what lengths will a father go to save his daughter?
Big John, a former POW in WWII, thinks women are smarter than men. The three women in his life agree, especially when he brags about knowing more Shakespeare than anyone else in Hope Springs, Mississippi. Big John is overly proud of the only seven words of Shakespeare that he knows:
The prince of darkness is a gentleman
. When Big John and his wife learn their beloved daughter has been beaten to the point of death by the man Big John pressured her to marry, he needs only three of these words:
prince
,
darkness
, and
gentleman.
Set in the Mississippi hill country in the early 1970s,
Go to Hell Ole Miss
tells the story of a father’s willingness to do almost anything to save his daughter from the Southern
gentleman
he had pressured her to marry. Almost.
For fans of Pat Conroy, Barbara Kingsolver, Wiley Cash, and Cormac McCarthy,
is a historical family saga of hope and hardship, redemption and revenge, faith and doubt. It’s also a compelling Southern tale with characters that become people who make you laugh, cry, and think.
