Between the flowers

Harriette Simpson Arnow

"Between the Flowers is Harriette Simpson Arnow's second novel. Written in the 1930s, but unpublished until now, this early work shows the development of social and cultural themes that would continue in Arnow's later work: the appeal of wandering and of modern life, the countervailing desire to stay within a traditional community, and the difficulties of communication between women and men in such a community."--BOOK JACKET. "Between the Flowers goes far beyond categories of "local color," literary regionalism, or the agrarian novel, to the heart of human relationships in a modernizing world. Arnow, who went on to write Hunters' Horn (1949) and The Dollmaker (1954) - her two most famous works - has continually been overlooked by critics as a regional writer. Ironically, it is her stinging realism that is seen as evidence of her regionalism, evidence that she is of the Cumberland - an area somehow more "regional" than others."--BOOK JACKET.
