A review by ryner
Foxfire by Anya Seton
3.0
Amanda and Dart are newlyweds in Lodestone, a tiny, struggling Arizona town, during The Great Depression. The life of a miner's wife is not quite what Amanda, who grew up in New York Society, was expecting, although she's determined to make the best of it. Struggling to make ends meet, Amanda's interest is piqued by a legend of hidden gold in the desert. Dart is initially dismissive of the story, but as both his and Amanda's pasts conspire against them and threaten their futures, he too ultimately gets sucked into a cross-country adventure.
Foxfire has a more modern feel than most of Seton's other works. The language itself seems more modern than others that I have read. In fact, in several cases I was surprised that certain colloquialisms were used then just as they are today. Although not my favorite, I enjoyed it.
