Biography:
Melisandre Backus lives on a plantation "about six miles from town" and was a friend of Maggie Mallison's in high school and at the Jefferson seminary (52). At one time, Maggie had hoped that Gavin would marry Melisandre. (He does in the last volume of the Snopes trilogy.)
Note:
The central character of "My Grandmother Millard" is also named Melisandre Backus, but that story's events precede those of The Town by 50 or 60 years.
