DescriptionsEdit Descriptions
- The seven novels of Ernest Hebert’s Darby Chronicles cover 35 years in the life of a small New England town as seen through the eyes of three families—the Elmans, the Salmons, and the Jordans—each representing a distinct social class. It all starts with The Dogs of March, cited for excellence in 1980 by the Hemingway Foundation (now the Pen Faulkner Award for Fiction), and culminates with Howard Elman’s Farewell, in which the title character and workingman protagonist sets out to do “a great thing” before he motors off into the sunset. (English, Publisher)
