Strange Glory
Penguin 1st Edition, published 1945.
A love-story with an unusual quality, following a young woman and two men who work out their destiny in the moss-hung forest of Louisiana. It starts with Paulina stopping her chauffeur next to a mysterious wood in Louisiana. She is off to meet her fiancee, but is captivated by the wood instead – and the equally mysterious man she spots amongst the trees. Strange Glory returns to Paulina’s life once every year, as she returns to the wood and to that man – whom she thinks a hermit – as gradually she detaches herself from her life of privilege and gravitates towards a new life.
Condition grading: Good. Light crease to bottom left corner of front cover. Some wear to spine ends. Binding tight. The photographs form part of the description.
