So Fair a House

(no dust jacket) [ex-rental library book, moderately worn, evidence of removed labels on ffep, jacket flaps affixed to pastedowns (remainder of jacket is NOT present), spine turned, external soiling, etc.] Very scarce second novel by this Alabama-born author, about "a divorced father's attempt to bring up his three children in a southern mill town" (Hanna 1994). The central character is one of the mill owners, and although he's involved at one point in running some radical writers and labor leaders out of town, in general (at least per the New York Times reviewer) he seems to be a decent enough fellow, "not greedy enough to wish to see blood shed in defense of his own property rights, or workmen starved to fatten his own dividends."
