My Name is Rose

[slight bumping at all corners, otherwise a clean tight copy; jacket lightly soiled (inevitable given the textured paper), a couple of tiny closed tears at top of front panel, another small tear and associated creasing at bottom right-hand corner of front panel, small dark stain from old (removed) price-sticker at top right-hand corner of front panel]. "Written partly in the form of a journal and partly in conventional narrative, Theodora Keogh's new novel is a kind of 'examination of conscience,' by a young wife whose marriage is breaking up after seven years." Set in Paris, this was the sixth novel by this somewhat overlooked author (a granddaughter of Theodore Roosevelt), the psychological dimensions of whose work has been compared with that of Patricia Highsmith, and whose exploration of gay and lesbian themes brought her a certain amount of notoriety during her active writing years (1950-1962).
