Excerpt from The Quick or the Dead?: A Study
You can go, she said. Never mind the slippers. I'll call you presently.
As Rameses left the room, Barbara locked the door through which she had passed, and then, turning, with her hand still on the key, took another long, scrutinizing survey of the room.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book takes us back to a time of rich literary tradition, a time when Southern Gothic was a powerful and popular force in American literature. The author explores the lingering power of memory, grief, and the seductive influence of the past through the story of Barbara Pomfret, a young woman haunted by the specter of her deceased husband. Barbara returns to her childhood home, Rosemary, a place steeped in memories of her happy marriage, only to find herself overwhelmed by the weight of the past. The author masterfully uses the setting of Rosemary, a decaying plantation house with its own melancholic atmosphere, to heighten the emotional turmoil Barbara experiences. Through Barbara's encounters with a variety of characters, including her aunt Fridiswig, her maid Rameses, and a mischievous young boy named Beauregard, the author delves into themes of love, loss, and the human capacity for both profound grief and resilient hope. Ultimately, the book's exploration of how we grapple with the past and find meaning amidst loss offers a poignant commentary on the complexities of the human heart.
