商品簡介
Heathen Valley, Romulus Linney's haunting and original novel, was born from the church histories of the Valle Crucius mission in western North Carolina. Told in four parts, it is a story set in an almost unknown valley, "Heathen, a Valley That Forgot God." With a quiet, muscular violence and biblical cadence, Linney takes us into the 1850s, where an idealistic bishop from New England and a life-whipped, sorrowful transient named Starns struggle to win souls and transform the valley. Widely reviewed when it was first published in 1962 and selected as an alternative for the Book-of-the-Month Club, Romulus Linney's first novel, Heathen Valley, was never reprinted and has never before been in paperback.
