Fox's Earth

A woman rises out of poverty to rule a family dynasty. For three generations, Ruth Yancey Fox wields her iron will over her descendants and the men unwise enough to love her. Only the arrival of a radiant outsider can match the power of the unholy mistress of Fox's Earth.

First sentence: BY TWO P.M. THEY HAD WALKED FOR HALF AN HOUR, THE man and his family, and the sweat of that sun-blanched September Saturday in 1903 lay sour in waistbands and collars and dampened pale hair and ran rank down thin necks and backs and legs.
