Halo - Loveday John - 1992

DESCRIPTION

Usual library stamps .etc in front of book. Some spine lean. The story of a wagon train making its way to Oregon is told in the voice of Scrag, a boy growing rapidly into a man in the presence of four influences: Lorelei, who initiates him sexually; her daughter, Justly; Sylvester, who introduces him to the poetry of Walt Whitman and to the role of art in life; and the wilderness itself. In language both plain and poetic, British author Loveday tells a powerful story through which Whitman's words run like a chorus. Winner of Britain's David Hingham Prize for best first novel and of the McKitterick Prize for best first novel by a writer over the age of 40 Quantity Available: 1.
