The heaven of Mercury : a novel / Brad Watson - First edition - New York : W.W. Norton & Company , 2002 - 333 p. ; 22 cm

Finus Bates has Loved chatty, elegant Birdie Wells ever since he saw her cartwheel naked through the woods near the backwater town of Mercury, Mississippi, in 1917. He's loved her for some eighty years: through their marriages to other people, through the mysterious early death of Birdie's womanizing husband, Earl, and through all the poisonous accusations against Birdie by Earl's no-good relatives.
