A Virtuous Woman
Kaye Gibbons tells the story of an unlikely Southern marriage in alternating voices, looking back after the wife's death.
Kaye Gibbons’s second novel tells the story of Ruby and Jack Stokes, a mismatched couple in rural North Carolina, one raised genteel and one a poor tenant farmer. Narrated in their two alternating voices, and framed by Ruby’s early death from cancer, the book looks back on a quiet, deep marriage. It is a short, tender study of love built out of ordinary days.
