But those are just whispers of a past lost to time. The summer of 2000 was different. Iggy in the Baptist church. Gasoline and a match. Twenty-five people dead. This, Harmony couldn't forget. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eTold in a kaleidoscope of timelines and voices, Michael Bible examines every dimension of a tragic but all-too-American story in The Ancient Hours. The victims, witnesses, perpetrators, and condemned comingle and evolve as the passage of time works its way through their lives. What emerges is a fable of the American South in the highest tradition: soaring, tragic, and eternally striving for redemption.","brand":"Melville House Publishing","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45045838577815,"sku":"9781612198644","price":1286.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781612198644.webp?v=1769217326","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-ancient-hours-9781612198644","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
