Description
From his experiences as a young naval officer in battles off Okinawa, Philip Bowman returns to America and finds a position as a book editor. It is a time when publishing is still largely a private affair'a scattered family of small houses here and in Europe'a time of gatherings in fabled apartments and conversations that continue long into the night.In this world of dinners, deals, and literary careers, Bowman finds that he fits in perfectly. But despite his success, what eludes him is love. His first marriage goes bad, another fails to happen, and finally he meets a woman who enthralls him'before setting him on a course he could never have imagined for himself. ISBN:9781447238270
