About This Item
New York: Viking, 1938. 1st Edition 1st Printing. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. 8vo - over 7¾ - 9¾" tall. A very good copy of this ballad-like story of a young girl's betrayal by her truck driver love. In a very good un-clipped (2.50) jacket, with one hole at rear joint repaired with tape on recto and verso and with tape neatly applied at spine ends and corners on verso, spine a little frayed and chipped at tip and bottom, but quite clean and well restored. " Softly, against the mellow countryside of her native and well loved Kentucky, Elizabeth Madox Roberts unfold the story of a girl's awakening heart. It is a novel of the earth and the sun, and of the right life to a life unhindered by the will of another human creature. The story is simple, tender with human compassion, lighted with the kindly humor of deep understanding. It is a 'love story' the story of a love that flamed and burned out suddenly, and a new love that came io replace the old" Book is a book that hearkens back to a simpler time and an easier pace. A fine nostalgic read. Protected in Mylar.
