The Time of Man
This Pulitzer Prize–nominated classic is “one of the most authentic and moving depictions of a woman’s identity and experience” (Appalachian Journal). With her 1926 debut novel, Kentucky writer and poet Elizabeth Madox Roberts delivers a poignant look at a young girl’s coming of age on the farms where her family toils. Ellen Chesser is used to life on the rural roads of Kentucky, traveling from place to place with her family—led by her father, Henry, an itinerant farmer—to put money in their pockets and food in their mouths. But after their wagon breaks down, Henry is offered work on a tobacco farm and a house to stay in—a job that becomes permanent when he is offered the ten...
The Strange Fate of Kitty Easton
Struggling with trauma in the years following World War I, veteran Lawrence Bartram arrives in the village of Easton Deadall and is embroiled in a dangerous case involving a murdered woman who may be linked to the disappearance of a child years earlier.
The Time of Man
Considered her finest work and an American classic, Roberts's novel traces the coming of age of Ellen Chesser, the daughter of a poor itinerant farmer. Against all privations and the forces that would subdue her, Ellen is sustained by a sense of wonder and by an awareness of her own being. Reduced to the bare elements of life, her world becomes a ceremony of daily duties that bind her to the natural world and her family. The Time of Man stands as a beautifully written tribute to the human spirit.

Against a Darkening Sky
Against a Darkening Sky was originally published in 1943. Set in a semirural community south of San Francisco, it is the story of an American mother of the mid-1930s and the sustaining influence she brings, through her own profound strength and faith, to the lives of her four growing children. Scottish by birth, but long a resident of America, Mary Perrault is married to a Swiss-French gardener. Their life in South Encina, though anything but lavish, is gay, serene, and friendly. As their children mature and the world outside, less peaceful and secure than the Perrault home, begins to threaten the equilibrium of their tranquil lives, Mrs. Perrault becomes increasingly aware of a moral wilderness rising from the physical wilderness which her generation has barely conquered. Her struggle to influence, while not invading the lives of her children, is the focus of this novel of family life during the Depression years.
