Rainbow at Night

New York: Lee Furman, Inc.. Good. (c.1936). First Edition. Hardcover. (no dust jacket) [decent reading/research copy, moderate wear to extremities, lightly bumped at several corners, a bit more so at top corner of front cover, some soiling to edges of text block, spine very slightly turned, hinges a little tender]. Novel set in a small fishing community on the outer coast of Nova Scotia, about an American musician who comes into town, ingratiates himself with the residents, and seduces a local girl, with unhappy consequences. A contemporary reviewer observed that the book "successfully captures the atmosphere and tempo and character of life in a remote province," but another warned readers to not mistake this "tightly written little tragedy [for a] novel of local color." .
