Description:
Bobbs-Merrill., 1948. Book Club Edition.. Hard cover. Very good in good dust jacket.. Sinar, Jo (Cover artist, sic? ). 1 351 p. Red vinyl cloth covered boards. Illustrated DJ cover: stark ledges with waterfall between. A novel set in California w/4 overlapping generations of Dodds and a new wife in 1920, a Russian refugee young Jeremy meets in Manchuria. She becomes the yeast toward change among the powerful Dodds and in the Valley. Her character and water rights are both central, as are the haves and have nots. The back DJ cover is an essay sponsored by "Your Book Club" and the Advertising Council supporting the teaching profession, the lack of respect for which, in the 1940s, was causing a "crisis in American education".
