"""An elegant, character-driven novel of paradoxes, The Hedgerow reveals universal human truths."" FOREWORD REVIEWS Anne Leigh Parrish's The Hedgerow, set in 1949, is a tale of disorienting changes in American society and in the personal life of Edith Sloan, the introspective heroine of this marvelous sequel to Parrish's poignant An Open Door. With a brilliantly-realized metaphor at its heart-Edith, her family, ex-husband, lovers, friends, and associates are a microcosm of America-the novel foreshadows struggles between self-expression and group think, personal identity and conformity, that will characterize the imminent 1950s. Historically perceptive, current as tomorrow's headlines, The Hedgerow is compelling fiction that crackles with honesty. Robert Crooke, author of Letting the House Go"
