About the book:

Perfect for Swamplandia! fans, Cicadas Sing of Summer Graves is a debut novel of magical realism about three women, each drawn to the ruins of an old Southern town lost deep beneath the waves. One hundred years ago, yellow fever gripped the small lakeside town of Prosper, Arkansas. During a storm at the height of the summer swelter, the dam broke and the valley flooded—inundating the town and drowning everyone trapped inside. Now three young women—Cassie, Lark, and June—find themselves drawn to and repelled by the land that still bears the scars of so much death, longing for a fresh start and bearing witness to the ghosts of the past.
