First printing. Uncommon later novel by the author of the still popular 'Five Smooth Stones' (with some minor characters from that book making an appearance here also.) Just as that novel dealt with the civil rights movement in 1960's America, this deals with the agricultural exploitation of the poor, the Mexican, the black, the minority farm laborers. Both a sweeping epic with a strong sense of social justice and a complex love story, this is the story of a young successful Madison Avenue advertising executive who inherits a small California newspaper and turns it into a newspaper that stands up for the rights of the oppressed. 592 pp. Ex-library with markings and significant reading wear, but in a very good, unmarked dj (tape reinforcement to the inside of ends of the spine.) Hard to find in hardcover. . |
