Sue Grafton: The Lolly-Madonna War (UK 1973)

From the Publisher:
Laban Feather and Pap Gutshall quarrelled over a plot of land separating their farms - and their obstinacy sparked off a feud that was to lead to kidnapping, violence, and mass murder.

Only Skylar Feather and Ludie Gutshall, childhood friends unavoidably involved in the slaughter, felt a conflict of loyalties. Until Sister E. was savagely raped...

THE LOLLY-MADONNA WAR is a lesson in futility - a ferocious indictment of the effects of poverty, isolation, ignorance and the stubborn use of force to settle differences.

'A powerful statement on the nature of violence and war' -- THE FINANCIAL TIMES
