Heathen Valley, Romulus Linney's haunting and original novel, was
born from the church histories of the Valle Crucis mission in
western North Carolina. Told in four parts, it is a story set in an
almost unknown valley, "Heathen, a valley That Forgot God." With a
quiet, muscular violence and biblical grace that readers of Cormac
McCarthy will recognize, Linney takes us into the 1850s, where an
idealistic Bishop from New England and a life-whipped, sorrowful
transient named Starns, struggle to win souls and transform the
valley. Widely reviewed when it was first published in 1962 and
selected as an alternate for the Book of the Month Club, Romulus
Linney's first novel Heathen Valley was never reprinted and has
never before been in paperback.
"Starns was thirty-two years old that night, but he looked fifty.
He was like a much older man who comes late in life to what
learning he possesses, and therefore has no fear of what he knows
he will never understand." from Heathen Valley
