About This Item
New York: David McKay Company, Inc.. Very Good in Very Good dj. (c.1951). First American Edition. Hardcover. (price-clipped) [book is moderately shelfworn, lightly bumped at all corners with a tiny bit of the board exposed at the top right corner of the front cover; jacket a bit soiled and rubbed, tiny bits of paper loss at several corners, one very tiny chip at bottom edge of front panel]. A "most unusual novel, a novel with an extra dimension, dealing with 'the evidence of things not seen.'" The plot, which covers the period from 1918 to 1945, concerns an "eminent surgeon and agnostic" who, following his seemingly miraculous recovery from what had been thought to be a mortal illness, is assigned to the "psycho-therapeutical section" of a unusual hospital," and finds himself "in the company of those who heal sick souls, not bodies," by employing "emotional maps [that] chart trouble brewing all over the world." This was the fourth novel by this Scottish-born author (a former secretary to novelist Clemence Dane), but the first to be published in America. .
