by Isabel Paterson ‧ RELEASE DATE: Jan. 4, 1933
A book that is certain to be something of a literary sensation, and the ""smart book"" of the season. Essentially a woman's book, it should be read by women of the staff, and, for the most part, taken on faith by the men. Unique in the telling, this story gives past and present at the same time through the account of what three people (two women of forty, traveling together on the continent, and a typical American business man, a friend from the past, who runs across them) do, say and think. For moderns, mature and civilized, who want their fiction to be life, and who demand honesty of presentation, who do not insist on sensationalism, and who do not expect books to do all their thinking for them. May catch on, in which case word of mouth publicity will sell it to many who wont ""get"" it. Mrs. Paterson is well known in literary circles -- and in wider circles through her ""Turns with a Bookworm"" in the Horald Tribune. The publishers are giving the book a real break in publicity and advertising. Posters are available on request.
