The quarry wood

de Nan Shepherd · Publicada por primera vez en 1928

The novel is on a small scale, focused on a farming community & centring on Martha who we meet at the age of nine, and whose initial appearance in the first sentence is to give her great aunt something of kicking. By the end of the novel we leave a mature young woman in her twenties, ready to take up what possibilities life has to offer her, although what direction she will take is left something of an open question.
