Backward Glances is volume six in the Lynch's Corner Series. These short stories veer from the preceding five in that they focus on protagonists other than the Lynch-Carr family, though there are a few lurking in the list of stories. Previous readers will find The Fall of Jessup an interesting conclusion to that flawed person. Others will delight in stories dealing with nuns in the Appalachians, archaeology in Egypt, young lovers groping for the rite of passage, University of Kentucky sports, illegal moonshine, desperate people facing impossible situations. Some recurring characters visit once more, but for the most part, newer folks emerge and join the LC series. Enjoy.
