Excerpt from The House With the Green Shutters
The frowsy chamber-maid of the Red Lion had just finished washing the front door steps. She rose from her stooping posture, and, being of slovenly habit, flung the water from her pail, straight out, without moving from where she stood. The smooth round arch of the falling water glistened for a moment in mid-air. John Gourlay, standing in front of his new house at the head of the brae, could hear the swash of it when it fell. The morning was of perfect stillness.
The hands of the clock across the Square were pointing to the hour of eight. They were yellow in the sun.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. Journey to the heart of a small town at the turn of the 20th century, where the hearts of its inhabitants beat to the economic drum of John Gourlay. This formidable businessman has established an iron grip over Barbie, ruthlessly crushing any who threaten his supremacy. Yet, behind Gourlay's self-assured exterior lies a fragile ego, soothed by the grandiose image of his own wealth and success. However, beneath Barbie's surface of quiet, the seeds of rebellion are being sown. Gourlay's hubris, his cold treatment of his wife, and his relentless campaign to keep his rivals down, begin to stoke the flames of resentment in the townsfolk. The author paints a vivid picture of a community on the brink of change and the complex web of emotions that bind its people together in both love and hate. Through its rich, evocative storytelling, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of power, ambition, and the destructive nature of pride.
