Won Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1934. 324 pages, 2 unnumbered leaves of plates : illustrations ; 24 cm. . . . . . A 1933 novel by Caroline Miller that follows Cean Carver, a young poor white woman in the backwoods of south Georgia in the decades before the Civil War, as she marries, bears a large brood of children, and struggles alongside her family to wrest a living from harsh, isolated frontier land while facing disease, death, fire, animal attacks, and relentless poverty. The book is written in richly rendered rural dialect and vivid natural description, offering a stark, compassionate portrait of subsistence farm life and the endurance, faith, and resignation that shape a largely forgotten class of Southern pioneers. Caroline Miller (1903?1992) was an American novelist from Georgia whose debut novel, ?Lamb in His Bosom,? won the Pulitzer Prize for Novel in 1934 and briefly made her a literary celebrity. A largely self?taught writer drawing on her intimate knowledge of rural Southern life, she based the book on stories and history from south Georgia farm communities; after the early success and a later, lesser?known novel, she withdrew from national literary circles, spending much of her life in relative privacy while raising a family and occasionally working in her husband?s antiques and floral businesses.
