Hardcover. a bit of wear and light bumping at spine ends top front corner also very slightly bumped; jacket age-toned with a bit of wear at extremities small tears with slight paper loss at top of spine small stain at bottom edge of rear panel. A "strange and fascinating novel about an illegitimate child who becomes a modern Jezebel.

In Farmdale town of her birth she becomes notorious as the cause of a triple tragedy: the deaths of the doctor's son of her youthful lover and of his father -- all in one night." The Chicago-born author's idea of authentic down-home Farmdale dialogue appears to have been primarily the substitution of "ya" for "you" at every opportunity; I suspect he'd never been much farther south than Garfield Blvd. .
