The Reputation of Booya Carthy - Paperback

by Phillip Drown (Author)

This is a story of love, in a world of hate.

When the Carthy family are forced to flee from their comfortable lives, leaving everything they own behind, they have no choice but to start again.

Finally settling in the small town of Honahee, all that Calvin "Booya" Carthy wants to do is play the blues. But violent hatred is rife, and musicians are being targeted.

As an even greater threat descends upon Honahee and danger follows Calvin ever closer to those he loves most, he must decide how much he is prepared to sacrifice for his reputation. But where is there to hide when everyone knows your name?

The Reputation of Booya Carthy is an unforgettable story, where beauty lives alongside horror, set against the backdrop of a buried period in American history.
