Gap Creek
Robert Morgan's novel follows a young Appalachian couple's first hard year of marriage at the turn of the twentieth century.
Robert Morgan’s novel is narrated by Julie Harmon, a strong young woman married off and set up housekeeping in a rented cabin at Gap Creek on the North Carolina border around 1900. Across a single punishing year of fire, flood, death, and swindlers, Julie’s endurance and labor hold the couple together. The book is a plainspoken tribute to the hard physical work of ordinary survival.
