An attractive & desirable copy of this Depression era novel about a woman who is "too staggering, too immense to be taken grimly, and maybe too significant to be just funny....She has the kind of mother that Walter Winchell writes about and the kind of father she wanted to forget about. But she ended her magnificent flight as -- a social empress, a political boss, a Wall Street meteor, and a wife you'd better read about than know." [quoted from front flap] Uncommon in the striking dust jacket designed by "Gor". Ships well-packed in a box.
