One of my favorites from Roe
I guess I will be the first thread starter for E.P. Roe. Apparently he is not well known. If anyone has an opinion on Roe or his works, feel free to share them! A Face Illumined is one of E.P. Roes' best novels in my opinion. I loved his thoughts on inner beauty. His novels are interesting and pure though they lack certain qualities needed to make a true classic. From Jest to Earnest is another good one.
