In the very early 70's I was a page at the San Marino Library and they had quite a collection of hers. I got intruigued (as usual) by the cover art so spent a few months reading through what they had. I remember enjoying the family-style novels, some others - eh, not so much. I was, perhaps, too young to understand the undertones of her Prohibition novel, or perhaps her metier was not the deeper psychological/sociological novels.<br />Anyway - great work, as always!<br />TomAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-21869884829453238592018-08-11T22:25:03.513-07:002018-08-11T22:25:03.513-07:00Interesting group but these are all unknown to me....Interesting group but these are all unknown to me. The closest I have come is shopping at the Hathaway Bookshop as a teen. I don’t recall when it closed permanently but it was a lovely bookstore, not far from the Wellesley College campus.CLMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03595294217111602231noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5595702824833504762.post-32015293868870261402018-08-10T16:53:21.987-07:002018-08-10T16:53:21.987-07:00Can I suggest Allene Corliss?

One novel, SUMMER LIGHTNING (1936) became a movie featuring Henry Fonda and Joan Bennett. (The movie was called I MET MY LOVE AGAIN.) She wrote essentially romance novels, but not quite category novels -- closer to Faith Baldwin territory, at least according to Kirkus. I've read one of her books, THAT GIRL FROM NEW YORK (1932), and it was not too bad (though far from great).Rich Hortonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07659613066689174738noreply@blogger.com
