Western Sepi’s
Book-Of-Month
“A Western for readers with
grown-up minds” is the way in
which Jane Barry’s novel of the
Old West, “A Time in the Sun” is
described by Clifton Fadiman.
The novel has been chosen by

of a Double Selection for Septem
ber along with “The Blue Nile.”
The heroine of the book is Anna
Stillman, a gently reared American
girl who is captured by Apaches
while traveling to join her fiance
at a military post near the fron
tier town of Tucson in the 1870’s.
Anna’s traveling companion is
Ysabel, a vain and spoiled Mexican
girl, who is captured with her.
Falls in Love
The Apaches are willing to re
lease Ysabel for a sizeable ransom,
but they refuse to give up Anna
the “white-eyes Nina.”
