ABOUT BOOK

At last this author has turned her powers of analysis upon a woman. Rebecca West finds it far and away her best work and intensely absorbing. With a background of Sussex tradition Joanna must battle to prove herself, first as a farmer and later as a woman. She is a truly heroic figure with pathetic human limitations for which she suffers, accepting things as they are with no attempt to evade necessary hardship and suffering. A strong, vigorous story for readers who liked "Green Apple Harvest" and "Tamarisk Town."
