Synopsis
Born in rural North Carolina in 1900 and telling her tale in the present tense, Roxanna Slade relates the story of a woman whom her friends and family mostly consider a "saint." Toward the end of her life, however, she is at pains to explain why she's been both less and more than a mere saint. A New York Times Notable Book for 1998.

Industry Reviews
"Roxana is a memorable figure, and further indication of Price's quiet, precise power as a novelist."
Bledsoe
"In the hands of a lesser writer, ROXANNA SLADE would easily slip into thin melodrama. But Price makes it work with carefully drawn, three-dimensional characterization and a complex theme that elevates one woman's story to a universal level."
San Francisco Chronicle Book Review - David Wiegand (04/25/1998)
"Reading Reynolds Price's novel ROXANNA SLADE is like sitting through a long and languid North Carolina evening full of fireflies and the sound of cicadas and listening to an intimate summing up of a hard life."
New York Times - Richard Bernstein (05/04/1998)
