Hardcover. Condition: Good. No Jacket. Unfolding against a colorful nineteenth-century background, moving from the frivolous society gatherings of England at the time of the Crimean War to the public soup kitchens of an America torn by social and economic unrest-this is the story of a young Englishwoman and the life she chose, a life radically different from the one into which she was born. When Florence Nightingale was making superhuman efforts against neglect and disease in the Crimea, Julie Corper was a well-bred, frail girl growing up in Victorian London. It was not until Julie met Phillip McManus, a penniless young playwright, that she realized that outside her own tight world, art and adventure beckoned. Confused, yet deeply stirred by Phillip's intense rebellion against what she had always considered the natural order of things. Julie fell promptly and desperately in love with him. But Phillip's ultimatum that she forsake the warm and sold shelter of home and family to accompany him to a new, uncertain life in America came too soon, and Julie let that chance at life escape her. When her second chance came in the form of young Leon Dekker, just back from the East Indies, she took it, married him, and followed him to America where she knew life would never be rich and easy again. America was good to Julie in its way, but never kind. It showed her the rough and poor sides of New York and Chicago, here Leon became absorbed in a mass of men striving toward the goal of better treatment and working conditions for the workingman. Interwoven with the theme of Julie's two loves, very different in their emotional content, are brilliant and intimate pictures of times both turbulent and refined-of lavish Christmas parties in well-to-do London, of picnics and summer dances in Holland, of the factories of England and the Haymarket riots of Chicago, and of the growing American theater.…

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Very Good dj. First Edition. [minor shelfwear only to book; the jacket has some wrinkling in the upper half of the front panel, moderate soiling to the rear panel]. Novel about the female workforce in a magazine office, "a story which says something new about a large segment of our American scene." But don't get too excited: "Emphatically, this is no feminist novel; it simply recognizes the fact that no longer is a woman's base necessarily home and family; a job can be an important part of 'home' to the modern woman." The author's first novel, it mirrors her own work experience up until that time; by the time of its publication, though, she had moved to Los Angeles, and as "Jane Ardmore" (following a divorce and re-marriage) would soon establish herself as a leading movie-industry publicist and journalist. She did magazine profiles on many major movie stars of the period, and was the collaborator on the memoirs of Eddie Cantor, Edith Head and Joan Crawford. (Joan called her "a bright, darling woman"; I met her once and thought the same.). Illustrated by (dj design) Palacios (illustrator).…

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. 1st Edition. First Printing. NOT a book club! Signed "With Best Wishes" by the author on the front free endpaper.
