Hardcover. Condizione: Poor. No Jacket. Cover is in good to fair condition, pages are all there and in good orders, back of book starting to come away from binding.The story of what happened to this belief (different elements would meet and merge harmoniously. This belief was- almost literally- the cornerstone of their house.); how it was tried, how it failed- and how it succeeded. Into Emily's hitherto restricted circle are suddenly catapulted not only Pellegrino and Simonetta whom she has admired at a distance without identifying them, but David Salomont- brilliant, suave and ambitious- and Brian Collins- hearty, headstrong and vigorous. Emily's grandmother, "Old Mrs. Forbes," a magnificent but formidable matriarch who is apt to overshadow everyone with whom she comes in contact, is the only one of Emily's relatives who recognizes the magnitude of the task the bride has undertaken. She makes mistakes, some of them serious, as she gropes her way into the world that is strange to her. She learns the full meaning of love in a hard school and, in the course of her progress, she meets with disillusionment and tragedy. But, as she continues to grow in stature, wisdom and loving-kindness, she conquers both. In the end, she emerges not only as a triumphant but a glorious figure, one of the most moving as well as one of the most courageous that Mrs. Keyes has ever created. Roger's development is as arresting as his young wife's. When the story starts, he is immature, inexperienced and insecure. He recognizes all too well his limitations both as a lawyer and as a lover; and his close association with men who are more brilliant and more compelling than he is not only arouses natural jealousy, but at times brings about crushing despair. Attorneys at law who remember their own introduction to a jury will smile rather wryly at the account of Roger's first day in court, for their amusement will inevitably be tinged with sympathy; and men who have eventually become great figures in their chosen profession, what ever this may be, as well as those who are still hoping and striving to do so, will find a challenge and a promise in the great scene which, at terrible cost, crowns his career and gives his best friend freedom to love and live. ld Mrs. Forbes," a magnificent but formidable matriarch who is apt to overshadow everyone with whom she comes in contact is the only one of Emily's relatives who recognizes the magnitude of the task the bride has undertaken.
