66309X1 Eleventh Printing. American Century Series. Hill and Wang, New York: 1969. 409 pages. Softcover. Reading copy. The story of a woman's effort to find a place for herself in the world more satisfactory than the one society had allotted her, and to learn to live, as the author herself has put it, without joy. It is a triumphant story, despite the tragedies and frustrations of Dorinda, the book's central figure. For it tells a universal story of the triumph of the human spirit over environment and chance and it ells it with such deep understanding that no reader can fail to find in Dorinda's story some echo of his own. "Surely Barren Ground is a great novel. Great in austerity, great in art, great in humanity." - Saturday Review of Literature ISBN: 0809000148 $4.95USD
