He was a small man sent to perform a small task.\"\n\nHoward Elman is a man whose internal landscape is as disordered as his front yard, where native New Hampshire birches mingle with a bullet-riddled washer, abandoned bathroom fixtures, and several junk cars. Howard, anti-hero of this first novel in Ernest Heberts highly acclaimed Darby series, is a mixture too.\n\nHowards battle against encroaching change symbolizes the class conflict between indigenous Granite Staters scratching out a living and citified immigrants with \"college degrees and big bank accounts.\" Like the winter-weakened deer threatened by the dogs of March -- the normally docile house pets whose instincts arouse them to chase and kill for sport -- Howard, too, is sorely beset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"University Press of New England","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":45119074107445,"sku":"ByrdShop_0874517192","price":27.19,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0627\/8139\/0901\/files\/9780874517194_b1ad327b-2bc5-46bb-b01a-b529d749040f.jpg?v=1777028591","url":"https:\/\/atxbooks.com\/products\/the-dogs-of-march-9780874517194","provider":"ATX Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
