DuringProhibition, the Bondurant Boys were moonshiners andnotorious roughnecks who ran liquor though Franklin County,Virginia. The Wettest County in the World is their story,a white-knuckle fable of bootlegging, revenge and remorse.Based on the true story of Matt Bondurant's grandfatherand two granduncles, The Wettest County in the World is agripping tale of brotherhood, greed, and murder. Forrest,the eldest brother, is fierce, mythically indestructible,and the consummate businessman; Howard, the middle brother,is an ox of a man besieged by the horrors he witnessed inthe Great War; and Jack, the youngest, has a taste forluxury and a dream to get out of Franklin. Driven andhaunted, these men forge a business, fall in love, andstruggle to stay afloat as they watch the world they knowcrumble around them. In vivid, muscular prose, MattBondurant brings these men, their dark deeds, their longsilences and their deep desires to life
