OASIS

by Willard Robertson ‧ RELEASE DATE: Aug. 30, 1944

Robertson has a nice quality in his writings -- and a flexibility which has already proved that he refuses to be a ""grooved"" author. This is a desert story -- romance with a feel of background, perhaps, lacking the sensitivity of character perception of Tide, but a better integrated story than South From Yesterday. Frazier, to a life in the desert, is saved from a tailspin of self pity by the accidental of offering a home to a young and desperate couple, and later to a redheaded , found at point of starvation with his deed parents. The girl's husband, Walter, gets the gold fever -- and deserts her; Edith, ten Frail to be told the truth, builds an altar to his memory -- and forgive its desecration when Frasier, ving and wasting to marry her, tells what had happened as prede to securing her freedom. Dead or alive, Walter stands between them -- and it takes the small redhead to bring them together. The story does not profit by the rather artificial manner of its telling. It stands on its own.
