Riassunto

One hot night last spring, after waiting fruitlessly for a call from my then lover, with whom I had quarrelled the same afternoon, and finding one of my black moods on me, I flung out of my lonely room on the ninth floor (unlucky number) in a hotel in lower Fifth Avenue and rushed into the streets of the Village, feeling bad. Letty Fox is hunting for a husband. Her picaresque adventures are brilliantly described in this imaginative portrayal of a woman who might have been independent, but chose otherwise.

Recensione:

'To open a book, any book, by Christina Stead and read a few pages is to be at once aware that one is in the presence of greatness ... Letty Fox: Her Luck is a fully achieved comic novel of a most original kind' --Angela Carter
