Let Go of Yesterday

[solid copy, moderately shelfworn, light dampstaining to bottom of text block, slight bumping at upper rear corner; the jacket has a small dampstain surrounding the base of the spine, chipping at the top of the spine, and some wear and one tiny nick along the top edge]. "The warm, intimate portrait of an Irish-American family, the Callans, and their full, eventful lives in New York in the gay twenties and the lean thirties. [This] heart-warming and penetrating story is made of the very stuff of American family life: neighborhood gang fights, a high-school dance, a funeral which the children turn into a riotous picnic, and a boy's fierce pride in his father who umpires the Sunday-morning baseball games." The author drew on his own family life for the novel, set in an Irish neighborhood in the South Bronx. This copy bears the ownership signature of screenwriter Robert Presnell, Jr. Unaccountably uncommon, with no copies offered online as of January 2025.
