Description
George W. Cable's 1902 novel is set in a Southern town where a rector, his bride, and a young district attorney form a close circle. Illustrations by F. C. Yohn accompany the Scribner edition.
Ruth and Godfrey, Isabel, and Arthur and Leonard move through courtship, church work, and public scandal, as a storm gathers over reputations and a lantern is quenched. Cable, known for Louisiana tales, writes here of New Orleans society with sympathy. The novel mixes romance with moral judgment, and its title hill stands for a community watching its own.
