Description

Clarence Brant, wealthy head of a San Francisco land company, carries a marriage already split by the Civil War into a world of loyalty, suspicion, and hard choices. Harte’s novel of identity and allegiance when business, love, and the war’s long shadow refuse to stay separate.

Author

Bret Harte (1836–1902) gave American literature one of its first great regional voices — the Gold Rush West rendered in short stories of luck, loyalty, and moral surprise. He saw California not as empty wilderness but as a theatre of human character: outcasts who discover dignity, camps that become temporary homes, and sentiment that arrives when least expected.
