In Webb’s first (1916) novel, the poor Shropshire youths Stephen and Deb search for a mythical arrow said to bind couples together—if they can find it on a Palm Sunday. But another local legend, the ill-omened Devil’s Rock, broods over the countryside, promising evil. The deep psychological portrayal of Stephen and Deb is noteworthy.
Sobre el autor
Mary Webb (1881-1927), born Gladys Mary Meredith in Shropshire, England, wrote poetry and prose about her native countryside and the people who inhabited it. Her novels were rediscovered by readers in the late twentieth century, and are prized for their descriptions of nature and her characters’ psychological depth—they have also been made into films.
