The Presence of Rachel Shaw (English Edition) [Kindle-editie] beoordelingen het boek quotes

The story of this precocious child is set in a time of accepted values not as yet culturally challenged nor scorned even as this culture was crushed by the forces of World War II. All human frailty being contemporary, the story gathers up the Shaw family of upper middle class professionals, the Willoughbys of inherited wealth ensconced in their privilege and snobbery, and the blue collar Housemans of Canwood Avenue’s neighborhood of assorted ethnic groups. Through Rachel’s eyes, these families and their secrets are propelled through the changes War brought upon them.
