Jane Gilmore Rushing: A West Texas Writer and Her Work
ISBN: 9780896725935 / Angielski / Twarda / 2006 / 196 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 16-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa w 2026 r.)

Those not familiar with her novels might find it surprising that Rushing s plots explore such sensitive topics as an affair between a mulatto girl and a West Texas cowboy, or the painful recognition in an early-nineteenth-century...

From the moment the wise, lonesome Quincie and...
