It may be just a tad too nostalgic. There's a minimal plot and excellent characterization but quite a lot of what I would call nostalgia for 1930s Alabama.

The Well and the Mine by Gin Philipps
An excellent debut novel, set in depression era northern Alabama. A young girl witnesses a woman throwing a baby in a well, and that inspires the girl's family to ponder the who and the why. The story is told in first person serial, which is a little unusual, but not hard to adapt to.
