Her only ambition is to own her own small farm in the Kentucky hills where she lives, to become self-sufficient and free.Whenever the struggle to live off the land eases, her inarticulate imagination takes its freedom and flies. Because Gertie is also an artist, a sculptor of wood and creator of beautiful handmade dolls.When the family is forced to move to industrial Detroit, with its pre-fab houses, appliances bought on credit and neighbours on every side, life turns into an incomprehensible, lonely nightmare. Gertie realises she must adapt to a life where land, family and creativity are replaced by just one thing: the constant need for money. ‘A masterwork… A superb book of unforgettable strength and glowing richness’ New York Times WITH AN AFTERWORD BY JOYCE CAROL OATESCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBAuthor: Harriette ArnowGenre: FictionTopic: Classic FictionRelease Year: 2017 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
