New York: E.P. Dutton & Company. Very Good. c.1927. First Edition. Hardcover. no dust jacket solid clean copy light bumping at several corners very slight fraying to cloth at lower extremities small bookseller's rubber stamp Bertrand Smith Long Beach California on front pastedown. First novel by an author who had an intermittent output over the course of the quarter-century or so. I find four novels for her in OCLC the last in 1952; she also seems to have been involved in social work in some fashion and her name appears on several additional books in that field; she also contributed several magazine pieces on the topic of immigration to Harper's Magazine in the early 1920s. This one's a romantic-triangle potboiler about a girl who has to go to work as a "pacer" in a pickle factory at age 16 after her aunt the dressmaker becomes ill and can no longer work; she ends up in an unhappy marriage to the pickle factory owner then subsequently falls in love with a poet. From the original New York Times review: "In short the book belongs to the vast majority of the mediocre the novels 'too bad for a blessing too good for a curse.'" Ouch. Maybe that's why she didn't give up her day job. . E.P. Dutton & Company hardcover books
