About This Item
New York, NY: Delta/Seymour Lawrence, 1979. First Edition, First Printing . Paperback. COLLECTIBLE - NEAR FINE/None as Issued. Text/BRAND NEW. Yellow soft cover/NF w/faint creasing to upper front corner. Gift inscription on first title page & faint soil spot on dedication page. First published in 1974; this is the first Delta Printing of 1979. A haunting novel of social realism during the Great Depression. First person narrative told by the oldest daughter of the Holbrook family. The book records the family's migration from a Wyoming mining town, to a tenant farm and to bloodied floors of Omaha, Nebraska's slaughterhouses. A tale of poverty and helplessness, as well as endurance and hope. First begun in the 1930s when the author was nineteen, the manuscript emerged among papers and was "dusted off" for publication in 1974. This novel was preceded by Tell Me a Riddle (1962) and followed by the non-fiction Silences (1978).
