Reseñas de la Crítica

• PEN/Faulkner Award Winner, 1986

"The Old Forest is an American masterpiece." (The Washington Post)
"No one writes more beautifully than Peter Taylor of the tension of love - not erotic love, but love of family, love of tradition." (Joyce Carol Oates)

unusual but interesting

It is an old fashioned story told from the point of view of an engaged, somewhat immature upper class 20 something. I liked the subtle ways the author shows how he changes over the course of the story. I also liked the way it describes women in that time.
