The Fortunes of Richard Mahoney Part 3 - Ultima Thule
by Henry Handel Richardson
Ultima Thule opens with Mahony's financial ruin. The family are forced to live in a remote part of the country in order to survive. Mahony is finally broken as much by the country of his exile as by his own sensitivity.
