“The Power to Make Life Pulse Vigorously”

Jacques Barzun on Anne Goodwin Winslow: “Mrs. Winslow’s reputation as a novelist is based on an exquisite specialization. She writes about the Southern gentry at the turn of the present century. This might well prove trivial or suffocating if it were not for the author’s astonishing power to make life pulse vigorously in the constricted places, situations, and people that she chooses.” Anne Goodwin Winslow at IWP Books:
