Tragic Ground
Erskine Caldwell
From jacket: ‘(This book) is set in the little Southern community of Poor Boy, forlorn off-shoot of a war-boom town from which the boom has receded. Lingering on, without so much as the bus fare to take them back where they come from is the family of Spence Douthit. Spence is no rebel; he longs to get back to Beasely Country, to keep his 13-year-old daughter off the streets, to find somehow, somewhere, a home where they can all be together, but these longings can now be quieted with pitiful ease. A crap game at Bill Tarrant’s Private Club; a riotous and eye-opening night with the girls at The White Turkey – and Spence, the dollars evaporated, returns to the mild bewilderment of his helplessness, to the spirited rows over the back fence with Chet Mitchell and the latest scheme for marrying the erring Mavis to a rich man.’
