"Considered her finest work and an American classic, Robert's novel traces the coming of age of Ellen Chesser, the daughter of a poor itinerant farmer. Against all privations and the forces that would subdue her, Ellen is sustained by a sense of wonder and by a growing awareness of her own being. Reduced to the bare elements of life, her world becomes a ceremony of daily duties that bind her to the natural world and her family."--BOOK JACKET.

The story of a woman of the Kentucky gentility named Theodosia, driven to the brink of madness and courageously facing the decay of life about her, relinquishing life herself and then recovering it in closer touch with nature. Despite the subject matter, it is a lovely, lyrical treatment of that region's rural life. In the process of the story, Theodosia discovers her mullato relatives and shares in their hatred of their white oppressors. In the end she becomes a schoolteacher, finds peace in her bucolic locale, and comes to love a simple farmer. --www.enotes.com et al.
