内容简介；
Mary Byrd Thornton could understand how a reporter couldn't resist the story: a nine-year-old boy sexually molested and killed on Mother's Day, 1966. A suspect to whom nothing would stick. A neighborhood riddled with secrets. No one, especially the bungling or complicit authorities, had been able to solve the crime. Now, thirty years later, the reporter's call will reel a reluctant Mary Byrd from Mississippi back to Virginia where she must confront her family-and, once again, the murder's irremovable stain of tragedy.
Lisa Howorth's remarkable Flying Shoes is a work of fiction, but the murder is based on the still-unsolved case of her stepbrother, a front page story in the Washington Post. And yet this is not a crime novel; it is an honest and luminous story of a particular time and place in the South, where even calamitous weather can be a character, everyone has a story, and all are inextricably entwined. With a flamboyant cast, splendid dark humor, a potent sense of history, and a shocking true story at its heart, Flying Shoes is a rich and candid novel from a fresh new voice about family and memory and one woman's flight from a wounded past.

“Like all great stories from Mississippi, Flying Shoes never proceeds in a straight line. It twists and turns in order to notice what matters most in life, and then delivers us to exactly where we need to be. Those of us who have waited a long time for this book celebrate its arrival.” ―Ann Patchett, author of This is the Story of a Happy Marriage and State of Wonder
“Lisa Howorth's dazzling verbal wit almost stops you in your tracks while you are flying along in this delicious prose. It is a scream - also heartbreaking, saucy, sassy, poignant, and triumphant. Mary Byrd is a bold, kooky, quirky character I won't forget. It has been a long time since I read a novel with such charm, generosity, humor, daring and brillance. It is just splendid.” ―Bobbie Ann Mason, author of In Country and The Girl is the Blue Beret
“Lisa Howorth's Flying Shoes braids a love know of new South, old South, and haunted South that catches at the reader's heart, even as the humor and sadness of her rollicking prose has us slipping off our own shoes and moving to the music in her voice. Flying Shoes is exhilarating and brave, full of love and grief and the journeys we all make from past to present.” ―Jayne Anne Phillips, author of Quiet Dell and Lark and Termite
“Flying Shoes offers a well-done portrait of a girl who survived a horrific tragedy and emerged in middle age with her empathy, sense of generosity and ability to forgive intact.” ―Washington Post
“A potent mix of Southern melancholy and charm . . . Flying Shoes luxuriates in life's messiness--eccentric friends, freakish weather--and its sadness, too . . . A-.” ―Entertainment Weekly
“Howorth writes with real flair . . . A memorable mosaic of a place, a time and a good-hearted woman at midlife, facing crises old and new.” ―Associated Press
“[A] buzz-worthy debut.” ―Booklist
“Flying Shoes, the delicious first novel from Lisa Howorth . . . [is] funny, character-driven storytelling with crackling dialogue.” ―Shelf Awareness, starred review
“Lisa Howorth's bittersweet debut novel, Flying Shoes, is more about faith, human endurance and Southern traditions than it is about the abduction and murder of a 9-year-old boy . . . The real journey we take in this giddy, bighearted lifeboat of a novel is not toward death, but a wild ride into the irrepressible life that goes on in spite of it.” ―Atlanta Journal Constitution
“An entertaining, and enlightening journey along the interconnected lives of a distinctive cast of characters.” ―Daily Beast
“An impressive debut, with heart and soul, in a long tradition of Mississippi writers.” ―Washington Independent Review of Books
“Worth the long wait and the hard-won lessons that Howorth translates into sparkling, fast, funny prose . . . You'll be so engrossed by Flying Shoes that you may wind up with a book-shaped sunburn across your face.” ―The Washingtonian
“Flying Shoes is animated by Howorth's feel for the old--and new--South, and the slightly oddball characters who inhabit it.” ―Chicago Tribune, Editor's Choice
“A very funny novel.” ―New Yorker
