Santmyer's novel about a book club in a small Ohio town has become a classic for its warm and humorous evocation of American life in the mid-20th century.
From the acclaimed author of ". . . And comes a beautiful new novel of summer love. When Elizabeth returns to her hometown, a chance meeting with an elderly relative takes her back to 1905 . . . and the tragic childhood memories of a broken heart. "It is hard to think of a better place to spend the summer . . ".--Cosmopolitan.#St. Martin's.
Returning to the setting of ". . . And Ladies of the Club", The Fierce Dispute is the deeply moving tale of three women born of different times, an uplifting drama redolent with fragrant and lingering memories. "Lyrical, highly descriptive . . ".--Nashville Tennessean. Martin's.
Herbs and Apples, the novel Helen Hooven Santmyer wrote at the height of her youthful creative powers, is the work that many critics have loved even more than . . . And Ladies of the Club. Laced with nostalgia as well as timeless insight into human character, Santmyer's enchanting novel is as contemporary today as the day it was written.
Helen Hooven Santmyer's tribute to her hometown of Xenia, Ohio, is even more valuable in light of the 1974 tornado that destroyed much of the community. But its life and history are preserved in Ohio Town, now available in paperback. More than 20 illustrations, included for the first time in this edition, enhance the text.
