Description

New York: Grosset & Dunlap. Very Good+ in Very Good+ dj. (c.1944). Reprint. Hardcover. [good sound copy (albeit of a cheaply-manufactured book), tiny nick in cloth near top of rear hinge; jacket is lightly edgeworn, and has an old price sticker adhered to the upper corner of the front flap]. Novel set in the Big Sur country of California, about a young woman who rebels against her father's attempt to marry her off to a "dull [and] somehow repulsive" fellow, spurred on by her meeting a "courteous, handsome young Scandinavian, newly come to the Coast." A sequel to the author's 1942 novel "The Stranger," this is often referenced as the second installment in her multigenerational Big Sur Trilogy, so-called, although that rather elides the fact that this was her last published novel prior to her death in 1959 -- one volume short of a trilogy, in case you're counting. The third book, "The Road," wasn't published (well, self-published, through CreateSpace) until 2012; per Kirkus Reviews, it was "co-written by [Gary M.] Koeppel 50 years after Ross’ death." Presumably Mr. Koeppel was working from some kind of an unfinished manuscript (one online commenter noted that it was "written from notes left by the original author"; another observed that it was "full of typos and other errors"). .
