Vinegar Hill Paperback by A. Manette Ansay Oprahs Book Club Bestseller Very Good

Vinegar Hill Paperback by A. Manette Ansay Oprah's Book Club New York Times Bestseller VERY GOOD Set a decade ago, this novel is about gritty small-town life in Wisconsin. Ellen along with her unemployed husband, James, and their two young children, Amy and Herbert, have returned to live with her in-laws, a bitter and narrow-minded couple, irascible and tough as the farm life they've endured, carefully cloaking their dark secrets. For Ellen, the pressures of her teaching job and raising a family often collide with life in this morbid household, and her marriage to a distant man, still under his father's thumb, is crumbling. It doesn't help that when James does find a job, it is as a salesman of out-of-date farm machinery, which keeps him on the road. But in the end, Ellen triumphs over a multitude of domestic and marital problems to grasp her emerging sense of self. Ansay writes with a diamond clarity tempered by compassion. Very good pre-owned condition. Nicely broken in with some points of light distressing. One small stain on front left pocket flap. See photos.
