"Kings Row is one of the great post-war American best-sellers. It was also made into a famous movie. The reasons for its continuing popularity are abundant: it is the intriguing story of a small mid-western town at the turn of the century, peopled by a varied and colorful cast of characters. The novel unfolds as it is observed by Parris Mitchell, the handsome, sensitive outsider, an idealistic doctor who is a keen observer of the best and the worst in human nature." ~Saturday Review The book is so eventful, so swift in pace... there is sadism, suicide, murder, embezzlement, political corruption, miscegenation, adultery, nymphomania, and psychopathic greed... but also loyalty and decency and idealism... A grand yarn, full of the sap of life." ~The New York Times Book Review

King's Row

Parris Mitchell of Kings Row

Bellamann, Katherine

Insanity. Promiscuity. Incest. Murder. Abuse. The small town of Kings Row has many dark secrets. Parris Mitchell, the sensitive young protagonist of Henry Bellamann's 1940 novel Kings Row, just wants to survive the gossip and violence of small-town life in America at the turn of the twentieth century.

King's Row is a fictional, small town in the rural south. The story starts in the 1890's with the main characters Parris Mitchell and Drake McHugh in early high school. They are best buddies. Drake is a happy go-lucky boy who chases women and loves to party. Parris is more reticent and sober.The long novel (almost 700 pages) follows their lives until their early 30's. They go through various romances (with very unexpected consequences), business operations and changes in their lifestyles. Drake starts off wealthy and the scourge of the town, however, he is bilked of his money and must start over. Parris studies to become a doctor and is well regarded throughout his career. Many of King's Row citizens have a quirk about them. Some are honest and upstanding, but there are others who have neuroses about them (including a doctor who likes to inflict pain on the sick rather than heal).
