We Cry to Thee

Bag om We Cry to Thee

A number of happenings disturb the tranquil pastoral scene in the picturesque village of Waterton. Suicide, a fatal car accident and a child contracting polio all indicate that something supernatural is affecting the community and the discovery of a black altar in the woods does nothing to allay this impression. Set against a background of a village school in the early 1950s, the broad dialect of the children is both humorous and poignant and the narrative contains plenty of contrastingly different characters like Bob Allen, a somewhat dissolute but compassionate teacher. Then there's the man-eating Lizzie Johnson... The culmination is horrific.
