Published by Samuel French Inc

1 Male 1 Female

A girl from the Bronx whose love for a lonesome lawyer brings a few months of happiness into their lives

The lawyer is married to a beautiful, well to do girl in the midwest whose family sets the pace in local society and intends to run his marriage and his career as well

He has rebelled, come to New York and taken up residence with this intriguing young woman. He is lonely and in need of consolation; she is one of those rare women whose only purpose seems to be making others happy

Their briefly fulfilling relationship is unhappily destined to failure: he is a cultured gentile with a wife and painful memories while she is a plain Jewish girl with little education and a horrible Bronx accent. They share happy and humorous moments together, but they both see with sadness the utter hopelessness of the affair

"It's a whale of a hit, a bittersweet joy ride" ~ N.Y. Mirror

"An absorbing, affectionate, and funny delight" ~ N.Y. Daily News
