Synopsis
ORIGINALLY PUBLISHED as The Tenth Moon, Come Back to Sorrento is the second of Powell’s "Ohio novels" to be re-issued in paperback. Here Powell turns her attention to those certain rare souls who have the secret of finding their lives glamorous and themselves magnificent under the most humble conditions. Connie Benjamin, the village shoemaker’s wife, always wanted an operatic career. Blaine Decker, the new high school music teacher, once spent time abroad studying piano. The two are drawn together into a powerful friendship of dependence, each sustaining the other and translating the surface monotony of their lives into drama richer than reality.

About the Author
DAWN POWELL, who died in 1965, was the author of fifteen novels.
Reviews
Powell is definitely the comeback kid. Her novels were unavailable for years, but now every time one goes out of print, another publisher picks it up for reissue. This set runs the gamut of her career, with Come Back to Sorrento (originally published as The Tenth Moon) representing an early release (1932) and The Golden Spur, her last (LJ 9/15/62). The autobiographical Come Back is the third of Powell's "Ohio Novels" about small-town life, while Spur portrays the tainted, wise-cracking New Yorkers for whom she is known.
