Synopsis

A quiet shock of memory travels through Aftermath, inviting readers to step into a historic Kentucky that still speaks with the voice of the nineteenth century. This is more than a tale of seasons and soil; it is a study of memory and loss, of how a rural community life holds fast to its rituals even as the world beyond the hills reshapes them. In this continuation of A Kentucky Cardinal, James Lane Allen crafts a graceful, timeless meditation on nature and society, where landscape and character mirror each other in a living, almost musical harmony. The book offers a lucid window into early american regionalism, weaving together reflective mood, social texture, and a sensibility that appeals to casual readers and scholars alike. Its refined charm and clear humanity make it a touchstone for fans of classic american literature and students of literature seeking a quintessential example of rural kentucky fiction and nineteenth century literature. Alpha Editions restores Aftermath for today's readers and future generations, honouring its status as a cultural treasure. Out of print for decades, this edition is a careful reclamation rather than a mere reprint-crafted for collectors and curious minds, a durable link to a bygone sense of place. A must for those seeking historic kentucky setting meets timeless classic charm, and for anyone who cherishes american regionalism literature.
