Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Journey to the heart of a small town at the turn of the 20th century, where the hearts of its inhabitants beat to the economic drum of John Gourlay. This formidable businessman has established an iron grip over Barbie, ruthlessly crushing any who threaten his supremacy. Yet, behind Gourlay's self-assured exterior lies a fragile ego, soothed by the grandiose image of his own wealth and success. However, beneath Barbie's surface of quiet, the seeds of rebellion are being sown. Gourlay's hubris, his cold treatment of his wife, and his relentless campaign to keep his rivals down, begin to stoke the flames of resentment in the townsfolk. The author paints a vivid picture of a community on the brink of change and the complex web of emotions that bind its people together in both love and hate. Through its rich, evocative storytelling, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of power, ambition, and the destructive nature of pride.
