Gone to Earth (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Hazel Woodus has a father who plays the harp and builds coffins. Her closest friend is a pet fox. Even so, this beautiful child of nature can't help but draw men to her, including the minister who she marries and the fox-hunter who relentlessly pursues her. Hazel's naïveté allows Mary Webb's themes of human cruelty, savagery, and sacrifice to come through.
