About This Item
New York: Crown Publishers. Very Good+ in Very Good dj. (c.1953). First Edition. Hardcover. [minor wear to extremities, very slight fraying to cloth at top of spine; the jacket is moderately edgeworn, with some very slight paper loss at the spine ends, light soiling and a few small edge-tears to the rear panel]. Novel about a Mexican family that settles in New York's Spanish Harlem. "It was a close-knit family, devoted and loving. With high hopes they all set out to make a new home for themselves. But the city was crowded and cruel. New York seemed to have saved all its heartaches, disappointments and disillusionments for the gentle Mexicans, who were overwhelmed by its hardness, violence and vice." The first (and apparently only) novel by this author, who was then a story editor for Columbia Pictures in New York. .
