"Ruthless, indestructible as the Ridge that sheers above his house, Russ Walls can't even write a letter "without putting the whole weight of his fist behind it." Here's the story of that fist - of its hold over his family and his town - and of his children's revolt, one by one, against his tyranny . a revolt as exciting and desperate as an melodrama. Russ' three eldest children are like him - powerful and stubborn. But none is his match alone. Gene tries to escape his yoke through his marriage, Mary through her painting, Jake through his one love - the farm. Stanny is younger, puny and wildly sensitive. His father's scorn terrifies and fascinates him. But he has his grandfather, and Nat, for support, and Nat is a man of wit and feeling. Only with his wife has Russ no conflict. Right or wrong she loves him and takes his side against her own children. There is tragedy here - and storm. But ironically, even as you see Russ break and corrupt the people who oppose him, you find yourself sufficiently corrupted to like him, too. He is a glutto for life; he asks no quarter of man or God. Opposition is the blare of a trumpet to his ears; fear and defeat are for other men. He isn't fighting the good fight, but he is pitted against lesser men, built to less heroic scale. Eleanor Mayo has painted an unerring and brilliantly colored portrait of a strong man. Like his neighbors you fear and respect him; like his family you love him - and want to rend him limb from limb. There's writing power and a surging vitality behind this book. The surpassing beauty of the sea and land in Maine." Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Hardcover. …

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - Bub Dolliver was home to stay. He had fled five years before, a hot-headed rebellious youth, a town terror who had won the cold hatred of the townspeople, a bitter lad who did not care if he ever saw Minot Harbor again. He returned, stubbornly determined to erase his past from the long memory of the villagers and make them accept him as a responsible, honest, hard-working member of the community. His reception was as cold as his worst fears-with one exception. The moment that Lou Jellison first saw him her faith and loyalty kindled then burst into steady flame. Her family, however, had quite another reaction, and eligible, respectable Joe Pettigrew has always taken it for granted that Lou was his. Besides, the people of Minot Harbor had rarely found it to their advantage to change their minds about anything, and were as unyielding as the coast from which they made their meager living. And then Bub's trifling younger brother took advantage of his return, shrewdly aware of where the blame for his actions would fall.

Taschenbuch. Condizione: Neu. Neuware - The people of the little Maine town of Frenchville were suddenly faced by a new danger that October night. this is the story of how they individually responded to that danger. It had been the dryest summer and autumn on record. Early in October had come the fire that all had feared so long, a terrific holocaust that swept back and forth under changing winds across the peninsula, that most beautiful portion of the whole beautiful coast. Frenchville had been evacuated. Capriciously, parts of the village were burned and portions left untouched in curious contrast to the blackened hills. Now the people were gradually returning to their homes. In was Jay, the town's first slectman, who accidently discovered that the new fire in the powder-dry woods had been deliberately set. the men with him, all of them exhausted by the week of fighting the fire night and day, realized what that meant. Someone wanted to destroy what remained of Frenchville. Even as they began again patroling the back woods roads, watching for the slightest flicker of light, each man looked suspisciously at his neighbor. The days of suspense that followed did things to people. Mike Airey, just returned after seven years absence, found that his feelings for Ginny Hanscom, engaged though she might be, had not changed from that moonlit night when they had parted in bitter anger. Tiz Airey, so sturdily aloof and independent, found that perhaps adfter all a woman could not live for herself along. Subdued Polly Hanna, Jonesy, and even Powder Tilton, with nine children and his house destroyed, find a strength they did not know they possessed. then an accident turns out to be murder and horror is added to danger.…
