Présentation de l'éditeur
The literary debut of the celebrated author of Dinner at Antoine's Frances Keyes was a 20th century American author and a convert to Roman Catholicism. Her works frequently featured Catholic themes and beliefs. Mrs. Keyes first book, The Old Gray Homestead, was published in 1919. The Gray's farm is falling apart until a wealthy widow named Sylvia comes to stay with the family. She helps rebuild the farm, pays for trips and music lessons. Austin Gray is falling in love with her, as are several other men. Can a plain farmer and a society woman find happiness? “Though Keyes preferred writing fiction, she had a journalist’s eye for detail and commitment to facts. Her carefully researched settings, combined with inventive storytelling, romantic plots, and patrician characters, resulted in several bestsellers.....With over fifty volumes of fiction, biography, and travel writing – seven of which achieved bestseller status – Keyes was a popular writer, often translated, with a well-deserved reputation for the skillful evocation of place and period.” -Joseph M. Flora, Amber Vogel, “Southern Writers: A New Biographical Dictionary”
