The Narrows

Ann Petry (Author), Nellie Y. McKay (Writer of introduction)
"Set in the sleepy New England town of Monmouth, Connecticut, in the 1950s, The Narrows tells the story of a forbidden love affair in which class and race play significant roles. When Link Williams, a Dartmouth-educated but unemployed young [Black] man, falls in love with Camilo Sheffield, a rich white married woman, Monmouth is shaken by personal as well as community tragedy."--Lower cover
