Descend Again

0/5 ( ratings)

"Millie Delaney, though she was liked and accepted by the people of the remote Arizona town in which she lived, was oddly isolated and set apart from them - set apart by her temperament, by her family background and by the width and scope of her intellectual and moral horizons. Suddenly into the small calm world she had built for herself two people erupted with shattering effect - Miguel, the Mexican boy she taught at school and who was perhaps an embryonic literary genius; and Toad, the tall, fair stranger from beyond the mountains. Miss Burroway portrays, with immense skill, delicacy and perception, the explosions they caused and their devastating aftermaths.
Janet Burroway, born in 1936, spent three years at Columbia before coming to Cambridge in 1958 to read English Literature. She has already published poems and short stories in various magazines and anthologies both here and in the United States[,] but 'Descend Again' is her first novel." [from the front flap]
