Whistle Stop by Maritta Wolff Novel Hard Cover Copyright 1941 449 pages
Whistle Stop, published to rave reviews and astonishing commercial success, is the story of the Veech family, an oversize, poverty-stricken tribe trying to make good in a cruel world. Through the course of a punishingly hot summer, we experience life with the six children and three adult Veeches as they bicker, brawl, make up, and provide titillating morsels of scandal for the neighborhood. A work of darkly comic grotesque, replete with shades of Flannery O'Connor, Whistle Stop is also a wrenching and earnest rumination on the tragedy of thwarted love.
No character or incident in this book is taken from real life. It is a composite of purely imaginary people and events, as well as a composite of certain types known and observed in many small towns.
