New York: Harper and Brothers, 1945. Hardcover. Fine/Very Good. First edition. Spine ends very slightly worn, still fine in very good dustwrapper with a small chip at the crown, and a pervasive but faint stain on the rear panel. A nice copy of a very cheaply produced wartime book. A "Harper Find" novel, Heth was a Wisconsin-born novelist who worked in the Federal Writer's Project. Basis for the 1949 Mervyn LeRoy-directed film featuring Clark Gable and Alexis Smith. (Inventory #: 71173)
