Tawes's married life is not all that it might be, and in the days that follow his meeting with the girl he finds that he is unable to drive her out of his mind. Finally he goes to visit her - and from then on he finds himself inescapably trapped in a nightmare world of treachery and violence, a world that had lain unnoticed beneath the sleepy, sun-soaked surface of small-town life in Tennessee. ***'An Exile tells the classic story of a good man corrupted by evil, bewildered and ultimately destroyed by his own passions, by compromise and self-deception. Unusually gripping both as an exciting story and as a psychological study, richly evocative of the leafy, dozy decadence of the Tennessee mountains, this is one of the most beautifully written and superbly controlled novels to have come from America in a long time'. ***'An Exile has been made into a major film by Columbia Pictures, under the title ' I Walk the Line'. Directed by John Frankenheimer, it stars Gregory Peck (pictured here on the jacket) and Tuesday Weld, and will be released early in 1971'. ***'An Exile is virtually flawless.' New York Times. 'Madison Jones is our Southern Thomas Hardy.' Allen Tate (Quote and review quotes from inside front and inside rear of dustwrapper blurb). ***First impression of the first UK edition in English in its original dustwrapper. Uncommon. ***For all our books, postage is charged at cost, allowing for packaging: any shipping rates indicated on ABE are an average only: we will reduce the P & P charge where appropriate - please contact us for postal rates for heavier books and sets etc.
