A noble man,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Solitary Horseman (Paperback)
This is one of my favorite of Emilie Loring's books. Written during the first half of the twentieth century, her books charmingly and authentically capture the flavor of their periods. This story tells of Anthony, a young man who in the excess of drink, crashes into and kills another young man who was his mother's main support. Anthony offers to take his place, which also means becoming a brother to the little girl, and managing the family's commercial orchard. The romance that develops years later is enhanced by the courage and dedication to his promise that he has shown. The romantic episodes are delightful and poetic, and never vulgar. Emilie's books (the ones SHE wrote before she died in 1950), are always clean, and include a mystery along with the romance, with interesting characters and lively dialogue.
