In the Shadow of the Dam: BERTHA 'VAN' EDWARDS NORTH with Bill Seymour
Prepare to be seduced by a world where forbidden trysts smolder in moonlit barns and whispered secrets echo beneath a reservoir In The Shadow of The Dam, recently published by Ebook Bakery Books and author Bill Seymour.
It is a legacy novel Seymour published honoring his grandmother, who 60 years ago used New York City's oppression of small upstate rural villages, including Downsville, N.Y., to reveal the raw, rugged, romantic and raucous lifestyles and many of those lives disturbed by NYC's quest to take land at any cost.
The book was so revelatory that publishers in the early 1960s refused to print it, fearing prosecution like Penguin Books saw for LadyChatterley'sLover.
Journalist and writer Seymour said publishing her book was his "last fierce act of Love" for grandmother Bertha "Van" Edwards North, called "Nanny," who died 25 years ago. It's an effort any grandmother would admire and for having their work published.
Her untold tale written in bold prose is about romance, lost traditions, and tragedy wrapped around the true story of Big New York City invading for decades and changing lives in pursuit of water in hamlets and villages over 100 miles away. Downsville, N.Y., the setting for her 1940s fictional "Gainsville," could also be today any hamlet, village, town or city across America in the grips of government overpowering them.
Step into a scandal-soaked story about a real village whose factual history blurs with fiction, where virtue is negotiable, whiskey flows like water, and secrets linger just below the surface of the rocks being blown apart to build Pepacton Reservoir and dam at Downsville. In The Shadow of The Dam is a searing, seductive historical-fiction-memoir novel brimming with forbidden affairs, betrayal, and backwoods vice in a Catskills.
It fuses the raw intrigue of 1956's Peyton Place with the sumptuous scandal of today's Netflix's Bridgerton and Sex/Life. Dive into covert affairs, simmering gossip, and hypocrisy that binds every small town-where love, power, and survival collide in a daring tale.
There's sultry Maggie Tiffany, who rents rooms and sells comfort with the same hand, and Trooper Jim Hadden, who polices the town by day and seduces its daughters by night. When seventeen-year-old Polly Howe finds herself drawn into his uniformed arms, the lines between law and lust blur in the moonlight. Meanwhile, the town's high school girls learn too early what grown men want-and just how little protection their r
