    Can anyone suggest me a book similar to the television show Rectify?

    What I’m specifically interested in:

    Character-driven; character development
    Small Southern USA town
    Philosophical/reflective
    Main character struggling to make sense of their life/circumstances.
    Family or relationship (not romantic) dynamics
    Great imagery and prose

    Does not necessarily need to contain the falsely accused/incarcerated elements, but if there are secrets or a mystery, that’s an added bonus.

    Thank you!

    1. Sounds like you’d probably like *To Kill a Mockingbird* if you’ve never read it. A classic for a reason!

      You might also like *East of Eden* by Steinbeck, though that takes place in California, not the South

      *The Heart is a Lonely Hunter* by Carson McCullers
