INDEED THIS FLESH

by Grace Flandrau ‧ RELEASE DATE: May 14, 1934

A study of the sense of guilt, in the life of an ordinary man living in St. Paul at the turn of the century, in a new scrambling community, where appearances are all important and must be maintained at every cost. His marriage a disappointment -- a love affair with a guest in his home burdens him with a guilty conscience -- casual deflections away from home bring no satisfaction. A career, rising to the heights of success, crashing with real estate collapse; a threatened law suit; failure -- and finally peace in his wife's love. The interest lies first in the presentation of a common problem -- then in the convincing background of one phase of westward expansion, with its inevitable human results in the effect of harsh freedom turned inward to restraint, convention bound. Not a ""popular book"" -- but one for which there seems a place.
