By John Ehle
Move Over, Mountain
Ehle, John · 1957 · W. Morrow
John Ehle's first novel, published in 1957, follows a Black family and their neighbors in a small North Carolina town. At the time it was called the first novel by a white writer to portray African Americans without stereotype; segregated bookstores and libraries declined to carry it, and it had a single American printing before going out of print. This is a later electronic edition of 275 pages. Ehle, a Carolina graduate, was teaching at the university in Chapel Hill when the book appeared.
