Elizabeth Savage BUT NOT FOR LOVE First and similar items

BUT NOT FOR LOVE By Elizabeth Savage Boston: Little, Brown and Company, (1970). First edition (stated). Fine in a fine dust jacket. Attractive wraparound jacket design by Carl Smith. Jacket flap price of $5.95. The author's second novel deals with the comical-tragical story of the Hollister family and a summer on the rocky coast of Maine. Elizabeth Savage (1918-1989) wrote nine novels, three set in the West where she grew up, and the rest in Maine. "Savage was married for 50 years to the equally celebrated novelist Thomas Savage [The Power of the Dog], with whom she had three children. In novels such as But Not For Love, she captures the stresses caused by class distinctions, economic differences and male/female relationships within groups of friends or extended families, whether the combatants live in Maine beach colonies, remote Idaho ranches or Montana college towns."--John Leggett, New York Times Book Review. Most of her novels are scarce and deserve renewed publishing interest. But Not For Love is very scarce! PLEASE VIEW OUR STORE FOR MORE GREAT VINTAGE LITERARY BOOKS THANKS!
