Wind from the West

New York: The Macmillan Company. Very Good in Good dj. 1930. First Edition. Hardcover. [solid copy, moderate shelfwear, some soiling/spotting to top edge; jacket unevenly browned, spine browned/discolored, some chipping at spine ends]. "The Brittany of great chateaux and ancient families, of grandparents true to old traditions of culture and exclusiveness, and of grandchildren whom the War has filled with ideas of freedom -- that is the Brittany of this story. It is the story of Solange de Brieuc, whose grandmother has brought her up as a properly demure jeune fille, but who cherishes a desire to mould her own life. Peter Quincy of Massachusetts is the hero of the story, and the impact of his personality on the staid society of old-world France is charmingly described. Here are romance, fantasy, and authentic color in a novel of unusual quality." .
