It is told by reflections of a young man and a young woman. The reader guesses that these two may have known each other in the past and often times their thoughts refer to once another. They often think of how simpler and happier things were when they were children.Wright's 12 facets of life are: Occupation, knowledge, ignorance, religion, tradition, temptation, life, death, failure, success and love. A chapter is devoted to each subject. Wright writes about how these items affect a person and define their character. He also expresses his opinion about what they have become in modern life. It appears he was upset at the woman entering into the workplace and thought it was a travesty to the home life.I only read about half of the book before becoming incredibly bored with it. There was no tension, no story, and the insights were rare and ponderous. This book might be worthy to pick up again and read a chapter, but reading it all the way through tested my patience and I had to put it down.
8 of 9 people found the following review helpful. Unusual and Compelling By Steven Fantina A synoptic capsule of "Their Yesterdays" does not sound terribly enticing. The novel has no named central characters; the two protagonists are defined only as "the man" and the woman." The action is not chronological. The entire book is a series of flashbacks with each chapter devoted to a broad, theoretical topic like temptation, religion, success, failure, etc. There is very little dialogue and the exact whereabouts of the plot is never revealed. Still under the mastery of Harold Bell Wright, it works! The author of "Shepherd of the Hills" is able somehow to make the abstract diagram a satisfying, rewarding novel that rivals his other works. Why he ever attempted such a non-conventional approach is hard to imagine, but lovers of great literature are awfully glad that he did.

A strange approach to writing a novel By Bomojaz Most novelists write about characters who are "tested" by one or more of the more or less universally accepted "principles" of life (job success, success in love, learning from mistakes, etc.). This determines the book's conflict. But Wright chooses to write about the "principles" themselves, and is not concerned with character at all. It's as if Homer wrote about the characteristics of a great warrior but left Achilles out. It's a strange approach.He lists 13 "truly great things of life" (included are occupation, religion, temptation, failure, success, love, etc.), and each chapter in the book explores one "great thing" through a nameless man and woman (Everyman). It's a bloodless novel because the characters are mere puppets on a stage conveying the ideas behind Wright's 13 "great things." Wright was a minister before turning to novel writing full-time, and a lot of what he writes comes across as sermonizing. Although very popular in its day, this is not one of Wright's better efforts.
