The new novel
by
MARY LEE
SETTLE
whose THE LOVE EATERS
was hailed by English
and American critics:
"This is a f irst novel; but its
technical maturity, its com–
mand of form g1Ve the im–
pression of a writer already
authoritatively equipped. . . .
Mary Lee Settle has achieved
a striking and ambitious piece
of work, evoking a charged
atmosphere, at once decadent
and primitive, that haunts the
memory with disquieting un–
dertones and echoes. . . . Sh e
is to be congratulated upon
a powerful and aesthet ically
distinguished piece of fiction ."
-ROSAMOND LEHMANN
"A masterpiece of realism."
-Savannah News
"A complex novel, remarkably
well constructed . . . vivid,
fascinating."
-Herald Tribune Book Review
"An expertly written, sharply
drawn picture of American
small-town life."
- Springfield ReJYUblican
"A remarkable first novel–
tightly constructed, original m
setting, characters and plot. "
-Richmond News L eader
"A sardonic and authentic
tragi-comedy."
