Undoubtedly one of the best books I've ever read. It completely blew me away. Spanning 3 generations, (from 1930s to the 2000s) "Memphis" delves deep into the history of the North family. I don't want to go into detail for fear of spoilers but I completely fell in love with this book and was totally immersed in the cast of characters. Somebody PLEASE option this for film/TV! An utterly stunning debut from Tara Stringfellow. I want to read everything she ever writes. "Memphis" is epic, in every sense of the word.
