About the Book
The illusions of love and the realities of marriage are portrayed in the lives of a rural Midwestern brother and sister. "With great skill, and with infinite care, Mr. harnack contrasts the solidity and stolidity of Robert's marriage wit the uncertainty and the continuing sense of romance that Alma cherishes in her voice." —The New Yorker "Mr. Harnack has given his readers a yeoman piece of writing and I was fascinated by it...he has made a story that compels attention, an intelligent and meaningful novel." —The New York Times "American writing at its finest." —St. Louis Post Dispatch
