  • "She is special. That's what Alicia Fox, mistress of one of Georgia's finest mansions, thinks when she first sees the girl dressed in pitiful rags. For the girl, Ruth Yancey, possesses a fiery beauty and a graceful splendor that soar above her wretched mill town roots. It is these looks--combined with her fierce determination--that win Ruth a place of honor in Alicia's home."
  • "When it comes to depicting the modern American South, Anne River Siddons is unrivaled. In Fox's Earth , called "psychologically astute and excellently written" by Cosmopolitan , she pens a dark but seductive tale of five generations of Southern women and the house that was at once both their greatest inheritance and their most confining prison. In 1904, Ruth Yancey is only ten years old when she is brought to live at the magnificent mansion called Fox's Earth. But the impoverished daughter of an abusive mill worker has already internalized her mother's steely code: Men may hold all the power, but a woman possesses one thing that can get her anything in the world she wants...if she's prepared to make certain sacrifices. Deserted by her mother in order to give her a better chance at wealth, Ruth's own ambition drives her to possess Fox's Earth at any cost, even though her sacrifice will ultimately be her own husband, children, and grandchildren."
  • "Roman sudiste (Géorgie) dont l'héroïne est la fille, très ambitieuse, d'un "pauvre blanc". Pour nostalgiques de Scarlett O'Hara."
  • "A woman rises out of poverty to rule a family dynasty in this extravagant Southern saga. For three generations, Ruth Yancey Fox wields her iron will over her descendants and the men unwise enough to love her. Only the arrival of a radiant outsider can match the power of the unholy mistress of the estate known as Fox's Earth."
