The past without sentiment
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
Joan Frank gives those years in the Seventies when people tried to live in sweet harmony with each other and with nature their due. She achieves just the right distance - a backward glance without sentiment. Her characters are young and hopeful; the landscape, still rural and open. Time happens! And Frank doesn't undercut her beautifully written narrative and her people with either nostalgia, cliche or condescension.
