Set in a rural English village, In the Springtime of the Year is an astonishingly acute novel built around young Ruth Bryce s struggle to deal with the sudden and accidental death of her husband, Ben. Suddenly alone, Ruth must cope not only with Ben s death but also with his family who view her with suspicion and hostility. Her sole companion is Ben s fourteen-year-old brother who understands Ruth s quiet determination to emerge from this tragedy with her integrity and independence intact. A young woman s ability to collect herself, by herself, in the face of oppressive circumstances, is the force behind this novel. Told in a voice that is both honest and unsparing, it is an important addition to the oeuvre of a writer of real scope and power.
