THE MOONFLOWER

by Phyllis Whitney ‧ RELEASE DATE: Oct. 15, 1958

Marcia Talbot's marriage to Jerome, a brilliant atomic physicist, has become a marriage in name only since he spends most of his time in Japan. In an effort to solidify their relationship she and their child join him, only to find that he is unhinged and suffers a deep feeling of guilt which somehow steams from the Hiroshima incident. The full extent of his illness and the unravelling of the peculiar role he plays with his Japanese tenants are revealed in this well bred melodrama which, as a result of its authentic descriptions of Japanese post war life, is a cut above the average light problem fiction.
