There Was Another

Garden City NY: Doubleday, Doran & Company, Inc.. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj. 1938. First Edition. Hardcover. [good sound copy with only light shelfwear, spine a bit turned, dust-darkening to top edge, some offsetting to endpapers, original owner's signature on front pastedown; jacket a bit worn at edges, a handful of insignificant tears and wrinkles, light soiling]. "A story of the bondage of a girl to a shadow" -- or, less poetically, a romance novel about a young woman whose dreams of blissful future happiness with the dreamboat who's just proposed to her are rent asunder by the sudden and wholly unexpected reappearance of "the man she had married when she was only sixteen, with whom she would have run away to India had she not been forcefully prevented" -- and whom, by the way, she thought had been killed in a car accident. But nope, here he is again, "shattering every bit of the exquisite happiness another man had just given her." Now be honest, ladies: don't you just hate it when that happens? .
