Call The Darkness Light is an epic novel of a young woman's passionate struggle for independence in 19th century America. Set in Massachusetts during the two decades before the Civil War, the novel tells the story of Sabra Palfrey - a Lowell "mill girl" who with her sister weavers and spinners was one of the first generation of American women to work and live apart from the traditional patriarchal family. It encompasses an entire panorama of nineteenth century New England: the Utopian dreamers; adherents of new religions like the Shakers and MIllenarians; the abolitionists; and the onrushing immigrants from war-torn, starving Europe - Irish, German and others. *** На задната корица This magnificent story of 19th-century New England tells of Sabra Palfrey, a woman born before her time. Orphaned as a teenager, she goes to live in the household of a mill agent in the town of Lowell, Massachusetts. But after a bitter disagreement he sends her off to work the gruelling 14-hour 1 day, 6-day week of the cloth-mills. Sabra spends die rest of her life struggling to escape from poverty and despair. Abandoned by her husband, betrayed by her lover, she never ceases to fight for the identity and independence which she believes are her right - and which she ultimately wins. Passions and sorrow, hardship and triumph fill its pages, but, above all, this novel explores one of the most dramatic and poignant eras in the history of the woman’s movement - through the struggles of its heroine, Sabra Palfrey. “Immensely readable. .. written with great lyrical power” —BOSTON GLOBE “Captures all the eccentricities, cruelty and courage of a nation still welding itself together. It is above all the moving story of a woman who survives with simple faith the gigantic events and overpowering characters of the times.” —DIANE PEARSON, bestselling author of Csardas
