About this product
Product Information
Against a Darkening Sky was original published in 1943. Set in a semi-rural community south of San Francisco, it is the story of an American mother of the mid-1930s and the sustaining influence she brings, through her own profound strength and faith, to the lives of her four growing children.Scottish by birth, but long a resident of America, Mary Perrault is married to a Swiss-French gardener. Their life in South Encina, though anything but lavish, is gay, serene, and friendly. As their children mature and the world outside, less peaceful and secure than the Perrault home, begins to threaten the equilibrium of their tranquil lives, Mrs. Perrault becomes increasingly aware of a moral wilderness rising from the physical wilderness which her generation has barely conquered.Her struggle to influence, while not invading the lives of her children is the focus of this novel of family life during the depression years.

Reviews
'"Almost half a century before the silicon chip, Janet Lewis had written about ecological disaster, 'the incoherent civilization emerging from the physical wilderness.' ( Against a Darkening Sky is the) story of the violent accidents and unhappy love affairs which pound the quiet life of a house-wife living in a Santa Clara orchard."', Richard Stern, Virginia Quarterly Review, " Against a Darkening Sky has the quality of a moving tone poem, with the conflict expressed through the exploration of a woman's heart and mind. The writing has the same high quality of serenity as the splendid woman it portrays."--The New York Times, " Against a Darkening Sky has the quality of a moving tone poem, with the conflict expressed through the exploration of a woman's heart and mind. The writing has the same high quality of serenity as the splendid woman it portrays." -- The New York Times, " Against a Darkening Sky has the quality of a moving tone poem, with the conflict expressed through the exploration of a woman's heart and mind.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!
