Books by Ann Petry

This gripping novel from 1946 is prescient and powerful; it is as relevant today as it was when first published.

Originally published in 1947, Ann Petry's classic Country Place depicts a predominantly white community disillusioned by the indignities and corruption of small-town life. Accompanied by a new foreword from Farah Jasmine that builds on the legacy of a literary celebrity and one of the foremost African American writers of her time.
