Hurry, Hurry Home

[light shelfwear, a couple of tiny stains on bottom of text block; jacket has a bit of wear and some minor creasing at spine ends and bottom of front panel, a couple of tiny closed edge-tears]. Novel about the Hardy sisters (no relation to the Hardy Boys), a pair of sort-of single mothers: Sue, who, in a funk after her husband was killed in the war, had surrendered the care of her twins to her domineering mother-in-law, so she could pursue her career as a band singer; and Nora, who's struggling to make ends meet for herself and her four kids following their abandonment by her feckless husband. The jacket blurb mansplainingly declares the author's "particular forte [to be] an uncanny understanding of women such as few male authors are privileged to possess," and lauds "the surgical precision with which Mr. Klempner dissects the mind and heart of the female of the species." Klempner's previous novel, "Letter to Five Wives," had been the basis for the two-wife-reduced movie adaptation A LETTER TO THREE WIVES.
