The Eternal Spring A Novel

Excerpt from The Eternal Spring: A Novel His Florentine past, in which Elizabeth Craven was so much concerned, revived in silence rather than in speech. After the first few words there was a pause. Mrs. Craven, leaning a little away from him in her corner of the seat, watched him in the silence that implied that past. She was giving him time for his impression. She waited for him to speak. And this struck Carleton at once as an unexpected change that the five years had made in her. But she, too, was noting changes. Each of them, after the first welcome to the known, was taking account of the unknown. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

A Most Anticipated Small Press Book of 2017: a poignant love story and dynamic political novel of a period in our history that resonates today Peace Corps Volunteer Laura Jenson has a lot in common with Peter Franklin, a Fulbright Scholar, whom she meets in Guatemala City in 1963. Both of them are inspired by JFK's call to action for a new foreign policy that would help the poor and promote democracy. What they find, however, is the reality of America's one-dimensional Cold War policies that got us into Vietnam and radicalized a generation. They fall in love as Laura becomes involved in Guatemala's nascent revolutionary movement. As the political situation in Guatemala erupts, Laura draws Peter into also supporting the revolutionary movement, and they begin working together clandestinely in the city and mountains. The tension builds as the government's security forces close in on them and then trap them in a safe house.
