Book by Siddons Anne Rivers

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

When it comes to depicting the modern American South, Anne River Siddons is unrivaled. In Fox's Earth, called "psychologically astute and excellently written" by Cosmopolitan, she pens a dark but seductive tale of five generations of Southern women and the house that was at once both their greatest inheritance and their most confining prison.

In 1904, Ruth Yancey is only ten years old when she is brought to live at the magnificent mansion called Fox's Earth. But the impoverished daughter of an abusive mill worker has already internalized her mother's steely code: Men may hold all the power, but a woman possesses one thing that can get her anything in the world she wants...if she's prepared to make certain sacrifices. Deserted by her mother in order to give her a better chance at wealth, Ruth's own ambition drives her to possess Fox's Earth at any cost, even though her sacrifice will ultimately be her own husband, children, and grandchildren.
