Description
"Just as America enters World War I, Rufus Frost, a sharecropper in Kangaroo Hollow, marries Anna Shannon, a local aristocrat. On the night that Rex, their first son, is born, Rufus is with another woman. She bears Dean, a child Rufus never acknowledges as his own. Over two generations the turbulent conflict of father and son and of brother and brother surges into catastrophe and tragedy.". "Thomas Hal Phillip's novels, like Faulkner's, are set in the north Mississippi hill country, whose terrains are populated by men and women who struggle against small-town restrictions and against the barriers of family, class, and race. In his books, as hopes are crushed by fate and human weakness, Phillip's bitter themes strike the same chords as Greek tragedies. Kangaroo Hollow was published in England in 1954. This is the first United States edition."--BOOK JACKET.
