Recenzii

"A major source through which we can vicariously experience the rural life of early New England." --Carl N. Degler, The New York Times Book Review

Descriere

On the basis of a diary, Ulrich gives the reader an intimate and densely imagined portrait of the industrious and reticent Martha Ballard and her society--a portrait that sheds light on its medical practices, religious squabbles and sexual mores. A winner of the Pulitzer Prize.
