About This Item
Harper & Brothers, 1954. First edition. Hardcover. Near Fine in Very Good DJ. First edition (H-D), near fine hardcover shows just a hint of bumping at corners and som eother mild trace wear, in very good + dust jacket that shows touch of toning along spine, mild soil and bit of rubbing at edges and bit of spot staining at reverse. 249 pages with pulisher's review slip laid-in. Still a nice looking copy of this "..fresh twist on the rich-Eastern-woman-goes-West story.
Reviews
On Apr 10 2020, a reader said:
First published as "The Water Hole" in Collier's magazine in 1927, this is the love story between a 20 year old spoiled rich girl who was never deprived of anything in her life, and a young archaeologist who is hoping to make the discovery of a "lost" pueblo. The distinct differences of personalities--she free and easy and wild, and he, quiet, reserved, "old fashioned"--is cause for quite interesting circumstances to erupt between them. It makes for a different kind of book, with lots of twists and turns as Janey Endicot and Phillip Randolph struggle with their relationship. At one point Phillip "spanks" Janey; something that could only happen in a Zane Grey story. There are villains and pseudo-villains, a kidnapping, and a near lynching--enough action and pace to go along with all the romantic difficulties. It's a good read.
