This combines Bolton's Do I Wake or Sleep, The Christmas Tree, and Many Mansions, which were published in 1946, 1949, and 1952, respectively. All three novels offer characters taking stock of their lives at defining moments?soldiers on the cusp of World War II, a dysfunctional family on Christmas Eve, and an old woman nearing death. Bolton is a writer worth rediscovering, and this three-in-one volume offers a convenient, affordable expedition.

Hardback. Condition: Very Good. These three meticulously crafted novels in one volume examine a certain 'climate of the nerves' -- New York City of the 1940s. In comparing Isabel Bolton to Henry James and Virginia Woolf, Edmund Wilson wrote in 1946 that her writing 'either makes people talk or talks itself'. Voices move these stories -- each carefully constructed narrative built by the layering of conversation, perception, and inner monologue onto lyrical descriptions of the vibrating city itself. In Do I Wake or Sleep, the lives of two Americans (a journalist and an alcoholic novelist) and a beautiful European refugee intersect for just twenty-four hours as a witty Jamesian contrast of Old and New Worlds unfolds. Both The Christmas Tree and Many Mansions explore the experience of older women whose lives bridge the Victorian and modern eras. In Many Mansions an 84-year-old woman reads through her unpublished novel -- the story of her life, tracing her path from a privileged childhood to her solitary present in a hotel room on 28th Street. 426 pages.
