by HUMMEL, George F.
New York: Boni & Liveright, 1927. Hardcover. Fine/Near Fine. First edition. Fine in near fine dustwrapper with a faint tape shadow on the spine. A novel about the evolution of a Connecticut woman's self-realization, from her beginning in the confining society of the near post-Civil War to the wide open abandon of the flapper-era. Hummel's regional novels are heavily influenced by his upbringing in Southold, Long Island. Exceptionally uncommon in jacket; the stiff brown paper is particularly susceptible to cracking.
