Miriam Merritt

4.9/5 (27075 ratings)

Description:"Around a miscarriage of justice Miriam Merritt has written a dramatic and searching work of fiction. She has created a whole small world, populated it with a fascinating diversity of men and women, and then fashioned a beautifully articulated and articulate narrative that grows naturally and inevitably out of their conflicts with themselves and another, out of their weaknesses and strengths, and out of the part chance plays in human destiny. An apparently random sequence of events in south Texas town culminated in a driving accident in which a boy is crippled for life and a woman is killed. Those most immediately and profoundly are four in number:Gaylen Cameron, a leading figure in the community, who is tormented by a sense of inadequacy; John Horne, the man he admires most in the world, and Horne's son, Pent; and the guileless Mexican farmhand Joe Peru, caught in a trap from which escape seems impossible. But the widening repercussions of the tragedy involve many others-among them a recklessly crusading young lawyer and a devious troublemaker his fellow citizens know as Judge Hence-and ultimately arose the passions and prejudices of a whole community as the drama reaches its climax in a courtroom. The book gains added stature and an interest beyond that of sheer storytelling because of the depth with which it penetrates character and motivation, and because of its underlying concern with ethical issues. In the best sense of the word it is an old-fashioned novel, but it's spirit is contemporary and its significance timeless. Reading it is an uncommonly satisfying experience. This is Miss Merritt's first novel"We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
