About This Item
Viking Press, 1948. first edition. hardcover. very good+: some very slight age wear/soiling to boards. text clean, binding tight and square./good: small holes in spine, corner wear, NOT price clipped ($2.75). 8vo 246pp. first printed February 1948. from rear cover: "Message from a Stranger is the story of a life richly lived. Beautiful in body and spirit, a lyric poet, Olivia was a woman of the world who gave unsparingly of herself. The way her life was woven into the fabric of the lives around her, and the part she played when she was no longer there, are the elements which give this novel its originality and its warm appeal. The men in her life, including the one who meant most to her and her two successive husbands--one a radical and one a businessman, her son and daughter with their growing-up confusions, are cosmopolitans of our world today, people with whom we can identify ourselves in their emotional drama." #00713.
