Miller, Sue — For Love

New York, HarperCollins, 1993. First Edition. Hardcover. Size: 8vo 8" - 9" tall. Fine-looking, structurally sound hardcover, little discernible wear to the two-tone, white cloth over boards, black cloth-backed covers, with sharp and distinct gilt lettering to spine, bright interior, unmarked. Bright and shiny dust jacket, illustrated, little worn, quite heavy. Publisher's Weekly summarized the work as follows: "Lottie and Cameron Reed and Elizabeth Harbour grew up in Cambridge, Mass., the Reeds in a ramshackle house across the street from the Harbour's elegant manse--a social chasm they became aware of as teenagers. Circumstances now bring them back together: her second marriage in jeopardy, Lottie has flown from Chicago to clean out her mother's possessions; self-absorbed, glamorous Elizabeth has fled a marital crisis; and Cameron, who has always adored Elizabeth, rekindles their old romance. The Reed siblings are emotionally dysfunctional, due in part to their impoverished childhoods as offspring of a father who was imprisoned for embezzlement and an alcoholic, abusive mother. Independent, willful but vulnerable, Lottie suffers from repressed rage and guilt, unconscious denial and an inability to give or accept love. A tragedy brings the various relationships into collision." 301 pp.Member, I.O.B.A., C.B.A., and adherent to the highest ethical standards. . . . Fine/Near Fine,
