Synopsis

Evelyn Byrd, set against the lush backdrop of post-Civil War Virginia, unfolds the poignant story of a young woman navigating the complexities of love, identity, and societal expectations. George Cary Eggleston employs a lyrical prose style that deftly captures the nuances of Southern life during a time of economic and cultural transformation. With rich character development and an evocative portrayal of landscape and emotion, Eggleston's narrative immerses readers in the struggles and aspirations of Evelyn as she seeks autonomy in a patriarchal society, weaving themes of nostalgia, resilience, and self-discovery. George Cary Eggleston, an American author and journalist, possessed a deep appreciation for the Southern heritage and a keen awareness of the social dynamics of his time, which undoubtedly influenced his writing of Evelyn Byrd. Raised in Virginia, Eggleston's firsthand experiences of the region's tumultuous history and evolving social fabric informed his depiction of characters caught in the interplay of tradition and progress. His literary career reflects an enduring commitment to capturing the American experience through a Southern lens. Evelyn Byrd is a compelling exploration of a young woman's quest for independence, rendered with Eggleston's characteristic depth and sensitivity. Readers who seek a richly woven narrative that addresses the timeless conflicts of love, duty, and personal freedom will find this novel a thoughtful addition to their literary collection.

    Colton Gray doesn't look like your typical deputy marshal. He's too young and good-looking for a West Texas lawman. At least that's what his boss thinks. As captain, Marshal John Timmons feels this new kid Colton isn't up to the job—at least not yet—so he sends him on minor assignments to keep him out of Boot Hill. But to everyone's surprise, young Colton manages to track down Eli Doolin and Casey Tubbs, the notorious "Old Man Bank Robbers." Not only that, he claims he gunned them down in a shootout, earning high praise from the West Texas chief marshal's office. And a legend is born . . . 
     
     
     
    But there's a hitch to the story: Colton Gray lied. 
     
     
     
    Truth is, he never killed Doolin and Tubbs—not after learning the righteous reasons behind their crimes. Instead, he let those good old boys go free, as long as they promised to stop robbing banks. Sure, Colton may have bent the rules a little. But Colton knows he did the right thing. Sometimes a man has to forge his own path on the road to justice—even if that means going outside the law. Or lying to your boss. In his heart of hearts, Colton Gray knows he was born for the job of US deputy marshal. And sometimes that job gets a little dirty . . .

    Arnold Bennett was born in 1867 in Hanley one of the six towns that formed the Potteries that later joined together to become Stoke on Trent; the area in which most of his works are located. For a short time he worked for his solicitor father before realising that to advance his life he would need to become his own man. Moving to London at twenty-one he obtained work as a solicitor’s clerk and gradually moved into a career of journalism. At the turn of the century he turned full time to writing and shortly thereafter in 1903 he moved to Paris and in 1908 published to great acclaim The Old Wives Tale. With this his reputation was set. Clayhanger and The Old Wives Tale are perhaps his greatest and most lauded novels.
