And yet another for Fall Release (but available in August): “When the Dust Finally Settles” by Kat Meads, $12.95. Narrated in part by a ghost, when the dust finally settles is a novel focused on land, loyalty and racial politics in the 1968 South. Mawatuck County (also the setting for Meads’ The Invented Life of Kitty Duncan) is a place where the present continually collides with the past.
