[minor soiling to cloth at top and bottom edges, otherwise a solid clean copy; jacket is lightly edgeworn, with a bit of wrinkling and minor paper loss at top spine corners, slight tanning to spine]. A "straight" novel, you might say, by an author whose somewhat slender literary reputation rests almost entirely on two of her earlier, lesbian-themed works, We Too Are Drifting (1935) and Torchlight to Valhalla (1938). The plot here concerns the love between Carol and Hans -- "Carol, sophisticated, exquisitely beautiful, with a fearless, cool mind that faced every reality, had known many men but never before loved. Hans, almost a hermit, bitter, haunted by a tragic secret, was only as honest as a romantic can be." (Whatever that's supposed to mean; do they mean "honest as only a romantic can be"? I'll bet he's not all that honest about that "tragic secret" thing.). N° de ref. del artículo 16466
