A WOMAN WILL OR WONT by Louise Platt Hauck

A WOMAN WILL OR WONT

By

Pub Date: Oct. 20th, 1942
Publisher: Dodd, Mead

War defense and woman's defensives as young Noel Allenby undertakes to do her hit by keeping house for her aviation engineer brother and his friends in California. It is Scott, whom Noel first dislikes, that proves her romantic hurdle; his off and on fiances doesn't help matters, and Noel turns to Larry as constant companion. There are extraneous and intimate female friends, much moving about as jobs change and the group breaks up; there is the problem of selfish, unstable singer Marjorie; of Molly's hard won marriage, of Jennifer's decision to give up a career for homemaking; and finally the climax when an accident throws Scott into Noel's arms. Lots for your money.
