Hardcover. no significant wear to book just a touch of fading to the cloth along the top edges of the covers; the jacket is lightly tanned at the spine with a bit of wear along the top edge and some very shallow chipping at the top of the spine. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the half-title page: "For Peggy & Norman / with love / Joan / Jan. 1962." The author's first and only novel whose central figure is a millionaire who was "cranky neurotic warm possessive prejudiced and generous. He was a discriminating collector and patron of art an epicure a devotee of psychoanalysis -- as well as an almost lifelong patient. He worshipped his beautiful wife but was never able to achieve the full reciprocal relationship with her that he dreamed of. He cherished but endlessly frustrated his four daughters. He antagonized most of his fellow trustees at the New York museum to which he had given so much yet the one he annoyed the most wept at his funeral." While one can't help but wonder -- especially when an author expends and seemingly exhausts his or her talent on a single novel and then goes silent -- whether the book has autobiographical underpinnings I've been unable to uncover enough information about the author apart from what's in her rear-jacket-flap biography to determine whether or not there was a real-life father behind the fictional figure of "Saul Bettelheim" in this book. The inscribees were actor/producer/director Norman Lloyd 1914-2021 and his wife; Lloyd is probably most widely known for his late-in-life role as "Dr. Auschlander" on the "St. Elsewhere" TV series but was active in the theatre television and movies from the 1930s until the 2000s and numbered many of the Hollywood elite among his friends and colleagues.
