![]() ![]() ![]() Alicia feels compelled to save Ruth, so she approaches Ruth’s mother, Pearl, to make Pearl the offer of a lifetime: to give Ruth the chance to leave her family and become a “daughter” of Alicia Fox. Alicia is appalled at the chlld’s plight in life. At a local market, Ruth is spooteed by Alicia Fox, the wife of the owner of Fox’s Earth. In the beginning, Ruth Yancey is the beautiful young daughter of a dirt poor mill town family whose father is not only a raging, insane, drunk and a horribly abusive, “loud, screeching, angry, hostile Old Testament preaching false prophet” who brings nothing but fear, guilt and shame to his family. ![]() Having read only one other book by Anne Rivers Siddons (Off Season, which I rated 4 stars), it seems silly to say that Fox’s Earth is the BEST book I’ve ever read by her but, it is! Fox's Earth is a masterfully written epic with a phenomenal cast of characters! When I finished listening to Fox’s Earth, I was in awe and just speechless! That does not happen often!įox’s Earth, which means "where foxes dwell", is not just the name of the huge ancestral Georgian mansion that is the setting of the book Fox’s Earth is the life story and life obsession of Ruth Yancey. ![]()
