Overview

""There is passion here, a piercing accuracy, a rare sensitivity and power. . . . One can only marvel."" — New York Times

Mary Turner is a self-confident, independent young woman who becomes the depressed, frustrated wife of an ineffectual, unsuccessful farmer. Little by little the ennui of years on the farm works its slow poison. Mary's despair progresses until the fateful arrival of Moses, an enigmatic black servant.
