the foxes of harrow,
By Brenda DoHarris (Landover Hills, Maryland USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: FOXES OF HARROW (Paperback)
The first time I read this book I was fourteen years old-- forty-two years ago. Reading it then partly inspired me with a love of literature that led to my becoming a professor of literature and a novelist. Yerby never fails to seize the reader's imagination. Even though his works have sometimes been referred to as pulp fiction, he does essentially what is required of the writer-- he seizes the reader and takes him on a pleasurable, thrilling journey through the imagination. As a black reader, I never even guessed from his writing that Yerby was black. His writing, as in The Foxes of Harrow, is color blind-- refreshing in a world increasingly obsessed with race. This is a "must read" for those in the next generation.

I first read this book in 1962. Today, I can remember the characters as if I had read the book yesterday. A beautiful love story written in a gentler time. A story that will tear at your heart and conscience. Very moving!

This review is from: FOXES OF HARROW (Paperback)
I read this book for the first time twenty plus years ago. I've never forgotten the characters. Yerby has created a great love story (that ends tragically of course) and brings the old south to life. I highly recommend it.
