"It was to be war. Not the sort of war between two nations over
which religion was best or what economic system would prevail, but a
war between the sexes. It would determine once and for all which sex
was superior, man or woman.”
Thus starts The Great Rappahannock River Race, Mary Wakefield
Buxton’s sixth book on life in Virginia. It’s a classic battle of the sexes
between two eccentric and politically incorrect professors who are
extreme opposites—Dr. George Philliphs, English, a thoroughly modern
feminist fresh to Virginia from an eastern women’s college and out to
change the world, versus Dr. John Stewart, geology, a confirmed woman
hater and “Mr. Traditional Virginian” personified.
Buxton paints her diehard characters with a brush of very fine bristle,
taking human behavior to the cutting edge in a celebration of love.
