Called away Perdita Buchan

Little Brown,, (1980). Very near fine in a very good dustjacket (some sunning to the spine of the dj).. First printing. The author's second novel (she is the granddaughter of novelist John Buchan), a fable set in rural Vermont. The story contrasts the 20th century Vermonters, including city slickers, idealistic back-to-the-land young people and Jesus freaks, with their early 19th century counterparts in one of the most difficult years in rural Vermont - 1816 - the year without a summer. 315 pp.
