Description
The Narrows A Novel by Ann Petry In a small Connecticut town, the life of Link Williams is turned upside down when he intervenes to save a woman from an attack. Their chance encounter leads to furtive meetings that challenge the rigid social codes of their community. As their relationship deepens, Petry shines a harsh yet richly truthful light on the harm caused by race and class. This new edition features an introduction that explores the prescience with which Petry chronicled the distortions of tabloid journalism and mob mentality. Through its shattering denouement, The Narrows offers a powerful exploration of human lives shaped by societal constraints.
