The Foxes of Harrow
by Frank Yerby
This magnificent historical novel, though a first book, remained near the top of the American best-seller lists for no fewer than ten months—a true test of popularity.Set in New Orleans and Louisiana State in the troubled days between 1825 and the Civil War, The Foxes of Harrow has a broad sweep and is charged with colour and action, with white-hot animosities, with strife and warfare and the clash of races. Dominating this fast-moving story is the figure of Stephen Fox, who is loved by three women, who has the face of an angel and the mind which can conjure visions of both beauty and evil.
