    Our narrator Alice, a precocious pre-adolescent, puts together the world from what she can overhear in her traditional Anglo-Irish family. Sent to live at the country estate Ballydavid, County Waterford with her widowed Grandmother and Great Aunt after the death of a beloved uncle at the Front. During the war, Alice eavesdrops on the hushed conversations about the ferment among the locals in the Irish Nationalist Cause. Simultaneously, we get the story of Roger Casement's activities on behalf of the Cause. Though the Casement and Alice's paths never truly cross, the complex machinations of Casement mirror the sometimes mysterious relationships in Alice's household: O'Neil, the major domo whose Jewish arriviste, Nicolas Rowe, an Irish Catholic whose politics are diametrically opposed to those of Alice's family, and the mysterious Sonia, a white Russian "mystic" who inveigles her way into the household. In the end, Alice works out the puzzle of her society in her own way, and chooses the future, and what she feels is morally right, rather than cling to the dictates of the past Front Cover -- Front Matter -- PRAISE FOR The Fox's Walk -- Half Title -- ALSO BY ANNABEL DAVIS-GOFF -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Acknowledgments -- September 1965 -- May 1912-June 1915 -- 1. -- 2. -- ]uly 1915-November 1915 -- 3. -- 4. -- December 1915-March 1916 -- 5. -- 6. -- April 1916 -- 7. -- 8. -- 9. -- May 1916 -- 10. -- June 1916-August 1916 -- 11. -- 12

    Money and conscience are at the heart of Cynthia Ozick's masterly first novel, narrated by a nameless young woman and set in the private world of wealthy New York, the dire landscape of postwar Europe, and the mythical groves of a Shakespearean isle. Beginning in the 1930s and extending through four decades, Trust is an epic tale of the narrator's quest for her elusive father, a scandalous figure whom she has never known. In a provocative afterword, Ozick reflects on how she came to write the novel and discusses the cultural shift in the nature of literary ambition in the years since Front Cover -- Front Matter -- PRAISE FOR CYNTHIA OZICK -- Half Title -- Books by Cynthia Ozick -- Title -- Copyright -- Dedication -- Epigraph -- PART ONE AMERICA -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 5 -- 6 -- 7 -- 8 -- 9 -- PART TWO EUROPE -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 5 -- 6 -- 7 -- 8 -- 9 -- 10 -- 11 -- PART THREE BRIGHTON -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 5 -- 6 -- 7 -- 8 -- 9 -- 10 -- 11 -- 12 -- 13 -- PART FOUR DUNEACRES -- 1 -- 2 -- 3 -- 4 -- 5 -- 6 -- 7 -- 8 -- 9 -- 10 -- 11 -- 12 -- 13 -- 14 -- 15 -- 16 -- 17 -- 18 -- 19 -- 20 -- 21 -- 22 -- 23 -- 24 -- 25 -- 26 -- 27 -- Back Matter -- AFTERWORD -- About the Author -- ALSO BY CYNTHIA OZICK -- Back Cover -- Spine
