Description
A warm and moving family saga set against the backdrop of American history. In this novel, generations are bound to the land, their lives shaped by the passage of time. As the years go by, everything that once mattered is lost, including the family's beloved soapstone quarry. Through the eyes of Lyman Converse, we witness a story of friendship and loyalty that transcends the boundaries of time and circumstance. A poignant exploration of what it means to hold on to one's values in the face of change, The Quarry invites readers into private lives worth caring about. Originally published in 1947, this novel remains a powerful portrayal of the human experience, one that feels both deeply personal and universally relatable.
