Book Description Hardcover. Condition: Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Fine. 1st Edition. An excellent book in great in Fine condition. Translated from the German by Peter Bickle and Jaimy Gordon"The debut in English of late-blooming novelist Beig--whose unsentimental, even at times brutal, picture of the rural Germany she grew up in confounds all our popular romantic notions of country life. Set in southern Germany, a place of suffocating piety, harsh custom, and rare compassion--a place not unlike Faulkner's South--the novel is more accurately four stories that share the same setting, the same theme, and occasionally the same characters. The stories span both world wars, but the wars are mostly incidental to the already narrow and closed lives of the main characters--all women--who never marry or live full lives?A most accomplished debut." ?Kirkus Review.
