INHERIT THE EARTH

by Margaret Shaw ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 17, 1940

An intensely personal drama of a woman, a vital figure through a succession of incidents that keep the reader concentrated in absorbed interest from start to finish. The story of a girl who came to the colonies as an indentured servant in 1758, married for convenience once, for love eventually -- and then found herself at odds with her husband, a Tory, when the Revolution came. They were exiled to Nova Scotia, lived through a succession of tragedies, and finally found an enduring philosophy of life and a deep love of the soil. Melodrama, relieved by the reality of the characters.
