The Auctioneer by Joan Samson

4.0

Imagine if you had to give your life up a little at a time. How much would you give before you fought back or would you fight back at all? That's what is happening to the residents of Harlowe when a slick auctioneer moves into town. The suspense in this book starts almost at once and builds and builds throughout. I really liked reading about John and Miriam and trying to figure out what they would do next. This is a great classic novel that's definitely worth a read.
