Salammbo Book

If you are old enough to have some regrets, to have done some things, and left other things undone that you should have done, but have the good sense to not be morose about it, this is for you. Farmer/teacher Joseph engages in behavior that hurts someone he loves. But even though it is behavior that is routinely criticized (and these days would also be illegal in one particular), good friends know that such behavior doesn't make an otherwise good person bad. So the story is all about sowing, and reaping, and the importance of good, longtime friends. Have regrets? Doing something you might regret later? You just need good company. This story will show you what that looks like. This was the first Harrison novel I have read. Won't be the last.
