Fiction
In this superb novel—the longest Mr. Richter has written—
Sayward, the eldest daughter of Worth and Jary Luckett,
completes her mission and lives to see the transition of
her family and her friends, American pioneers, from the
ways of the wilderness to the ways of civilization. Here
is the tumultuous story of the Lucketts, an American
family born in the wilderness, grown to face the changing
ways of America during the turmoil that was the first
half of the nineteenth century.
The Trees began the story of Worth and Jary,
a wild and woodsfaring family who lived a roaming life,
pushing ever westward as the frontier advanced and as new
settlements threatened their isolation. How young Sayward
and her family, facing the realization that the forests
had become fields and settlements, took up the arduous
task of tilling the Ohio soil was the story continued in
The Fields. But The Town is a much bigger book in every
way than its predecessors; it is in fact a major literary
event and with them comprises a great American epic.
