Hardcover. Etat : Very Good+. First Edition. (no dust jacket) [nice solid book, minimal shelfwear, would rate Near Fine but for some uneven dust-soiling to the top of the text block; two rubber-stamps inside, of Bertrand Smith's Acres of Books, Long Beach, Calf. (on front pastedown) and Monroe Gift Shop (on front endpaper)]. Novel about a single day's happenings among three couples vacationing at the same New Hampshire lake: a talented but struggling writer and his hard-drinking wife; a wealthy philanderer of good old New England stock, and his childless wife; and a happy young couple and their 7-year-old son. Things get interesting (and not necessarily in a good way) when a bogus European baroness, a former lover of one of the men, shows up on the scene with her daughter. According to the New York Times critic, the author was particularly adept at portraying the children with a "fine sympathy and understanding" -- apart from which "the plot is thin, but sufficient for a Summer-weather novel.".…

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good+. Very Good dj. First Edition. [good sound book, slight fading to cloth at top of spine, minor shelfwear and light soiling to bottom edges; jacket modestly edgeworn, age-toned and lightly soiled, a bit of chipping at top of spine, short diagonal creases at bottom corners of both flaps, some shallow insect-nibbling at bottom of front flap]. Described in the jacket blurb as "the most mature book [the author] has yet written," this is a novel about a couple whose "unorthodox marital arrangements exactly suited their strange love for each other, which found expression in continuous violence." Yikes. The husband, James, had "married Cordelia to avoid a scandal over his love affair with the wife of his law partner and [he] often tormented both women with the diabolical ingenuity of an intellectual and emotional sadist." (And he's a drunk, too.) Double yikes. The New York Times reviewer of the book (a woman) had an interesting take on it: "Almost everyone knows of marriages on that order that seem to be far more satisfactory to the participants than any idyll in a rose-covered cottage. It is to Miss Whitcomb's credit that she makes this one convincing." All sounds a little Who's-Afraid-of-Virginia-Woolfy, doesn't it. Illustrated by (dj design) [H.] Laurence Hoffman (illustrateur).…

The author's second novel, "a searching and understanding story of a girl's childhood that will pull at the heartstrings of any person who remembers something of his or her own little tortures and triumphs in the complicated business of growing up." The book follows her from childhood, through the trauma of her parents' divorce, until "she emerges finally as a self-reliant, high-spirited young woman, an outstanding fiture in the exclusive girls' boarding school (pictured by Miss Whitcomb with rare and malicious humor) where her socially ambitious father has sent her.".…
