Perihal e-buku ini
A searing portrait of racism and violence in a small Southern town from the national-bestselling author of God's Little Acre.
When mixed-race brother and sister Ganus and Kathyanne Bazemore move to Estherville, a small Southern town, they're looking for a fresh start. They don't know anyone and nobody knows them, but they are two bright, attractive young people looking for work. It doesn't take long, however, before the two kids are subjected to the worst of the town's lust, brutality, and bigotry.
A gripping story of the pre–civil rights era South, Place Called Estherville offers a candid glimpse of one of America's most troubling legacies.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Erskine Caldwell including rare photos and never-before-seen documents courtesy of the Dartmouth College Library.

Perihal pengarang
Erskine Caldwell (1903–1987) is the author of twenty-five novels, numerous short stories, and a dozen nonfiction titles, most depicting the harsh realities of life in the American South during the Great Depression. His books have been published in forty-five languages and have sold tens of millions of copies, with God's Little Acre alone selling more than fourteen million. Caldwell's graphic realism and unabashedly political themes earned him the scorn of critics and censors early in his career, though by the end of his life he was acknowledged as a giant of American literature.
