Islanders

Prolific writer Helen R. Hull (1888-1971) offers a portrait of rural American women's lives over three generations, from the Gold Rush in California in 1849 to World War I. The men of the novel's family go off to war and to make their fortunes -- leaving the women, 'islanders', to run the farm and care for their families. The New York Times called Islanders (1927) "a novel of power, freshness, ideas... As the history of a brave, clear-thinking, self-reliant woman, it is fascinating."Hull, Helen R. is the author of 'Islanders' with ISBN 9780935312911 and ISBN 0935312919.
