MIDWOOD No. 14. Vintage erotic paperback. Early Lawrence Block sleaze novel. Attractive painted cover. Would be fine except for price sharpied large on cover (not affecting figures). Long creases to back cover corners. Story copy: 'Puta' is Spanish for prostitute. Rita Morales was the daughter of a Puta. But she was determined not to follow in her mother's footsteps. She was equally determined to rise above her class and make something of herself. But ironically, the only way she could get her start was by selling herself to Pardo, the Porto Rican gambler. So by a paradox of fate, Rita's start on the road to respectability was by being a 'puta'. How Rita Morales, the beautiful and resourceful Puerto Rican, battles her vicious heritage is an absorbing and poignant story. And how she finally ends up will take you completely by surprise.
