NEIGHBOR TO THE SKY

by Gladys Hasty Carrell ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 11, 1937

This sets the key to Gladys Hasty Carroll's place as a novelist. Her first book, As The Earth Turns, won instant approbation from critics and public alike. The second book, A Few Foolish Ones, raised doubts as to her ability to hold a permanent place. New comes Neighbor To The Sky, and in it she shows marked maturity and a creative ability that extends beyond the limitations of the Maine farm. This is primarily the story of a man and a woman and of how they fought through to true values and deepened love. It is basically a story of marriage -- the fact that it is also of an uphill climb to success in a chosen field and the ultimate recognition that real success lies elsewhere, is important as a part of the larger picture. This should widen Mrs. Carroll's audience to include those who like Margaret Ayer Barnes, etc.
