About This Item
Toronto, New York, London: Longmans, Green and Company, c. 1960. Very good condition. . Edition: First Edition. , Binding: Full contemporary red publisher’s cloth. Flat spine with title in black. Original dust jacket included. , Notes: Written by famous Canadian writer Phyllis Brett, this is a novel capturing a social inflection point, when the post-war economic boom had brought unprecedented prosperity, but also unforeseen stresses to society. Through fiction, the author critiques and gives voice to the effect of mass consumerism on the psychological health of women of the day. Reflecting on a society that is post-industrial but that is still clinging onto older notions of women’s role in the household, this novel provides a well written window into a bygone era. , Size: 8vo.
