1st Ed - Green Holly - Sue Kaufman
Merchant: Oxfam
Merchant's Category: Media> Books
First edition of an earlier work by Sue Kaufman, best remembered for 'Diary of a Mad Housewife' - which inspired the 1970 movie of the same name. Green Holly is a love story, a story of the unloving and loving heart. With remarkable deftness and feeling, Sue Kaufman draws apart the strands of a woman's life. Sketching a sophisticated New York milieu, she wittily examines the complexities of women's friendship, which she reveals as having a surprising importance in a story of love. It is the story of Jean Fell, a sensitive and attractive girl in her early thirties whose self-control has insulated her from any deep emotional commitment. Faced with having to accept a lack in herself, she meets Walter Asch, a man who in almost every respect contradicts what has attracted her in the past. He is also much older than she and married. Their affair reveals Jean to herself; it presents her with the most difficult situation of her life, with a new strength and happiness, and with a tragic consequence. Green Holly by Sue Kaufman. Published by Charles Scribner's Sons 1961. First edition. 186pp. Hardback with dust jacket. Dust jacket condition: Poor - extensive tears to extremes, particularly to rear cover, just slightly too bad to deem it a fair jacket. Book condition: Good - clean covers, tightly bound, two former owner inscriptions to front free endpaper but otherwise internally clean.
