I am looking for a copy I have stored away at this time and will purchase online if not. Most, if not all the people in this novel, contrary to "work of fiction) lived in the area I was raised and everyone in that area knew who each character was. Those people have long pass away, but in each of their homes you would find a copy, some out in view, some hidden away. Not a knock off of To Kill A Mockingbird, but fictional account of real events and people.

Seems that everything most people say about it rings true for me -- the emotional power, especially for a younger reader, the understated message, the comparisons with Mockingbird, etc. Funny that I came upon your blog in trying to find out -- after my current reading -- more about this obscure author and this book.Alanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10840414876682513214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-28277955501179133022013-06-27T17:11:52.389+01:002013-06-27T17:11:52.389+01:00Thanks: I'm really pleased that people are com...<b>Thanks: I'm really pleased that people are commenting on such an obscure book.</b>Dr Tony Shawhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07565448709541046337noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8955844379699946887.post-61503995753053987752013-06-27T08:18:16.796+01:002013-06-27T08:18:16.796+01:00Thorpe is one of my favorite books.
