And thirty years later, Anna almost does: as widow of amiable but foredoomed Senator Gordon Hastings of Texas- as columnist- as television personality- as major political figure- and abov (illustrator). Book Club Edition. Damage to front cover bottom right side of book.Anna Kowalczek arrived on Capitol Hill at the start of World War II, old Senator Seab Cooley of South Carolina predicted, "Mark my words, that little lady is going to own this town someday." And thirty years later, Anna almost does: as widow of amiable but foredoomed Senator Gordon Hastings of Texas-as columnist-as television personality-as major political figure-and above all as founder and publisher of the Washington Inquirer and head of a media empire that stretches from coast to coast. How Anna clawed her way to the top of the Washington heap from a modest Polish home in Punxsutawney, PA., is related in this engrossing novel of the Washington scene Allen Drury knows so well and has described so powerfully in his previous political novels. His tale of Anna, her rise and those who either successfully accompanied her or fell by the wayside is, as Seab Cooley also remarked, "some skeerazzle." Here you will meet the people who had to live with Anna and the four horsemen (or, as Anna would put it now, "horsepersons") who came as eager youngsters to the wild and wacky Washington of World War II and stayed to become some of the town's top journalists: Ed Macomb, the narrator, who serves loyally as managing editor of the Inquirer until Anna with the greatest love and reluctance slits his throat professionally and kicks him out- Fat and faithful Bessie Revere, who receives the same treatment yet also remains loyal- Talbot Farson, who survives Presidential enmity, a Congressional investigation and a dubious political past to retain his triumphant grip on the news as editor of the Inquirer- Unhappy Gordon Hastings, married to one of Washington's most ambitious women and eventually destroyed- Young Gordie and Lisa, Anna's children, the only two people their mother couldn't dominate. And, always, Anna herself, brilliant, ruthless, all-conquering-and yet somehow pathetic and vulnerable, likable and touching in spite of the whim-of-iron qualities that make her at the same time one of Washington's most successful women and one of its more formidable monsters.

Hardcover. Condition: Near Fine. Dust Jacket Condition: Good. olly" Storrington is a lonely, distracted child who spends most of his waking hours in the company of a fantasy playmate who has entirely, almost unnaturally, possessed the boy's hyperactive imagination; The Major, handsome, still powerful, and restive i (illustrator). Book Club Edition. For Sarah Goodwill, still reeling in the aftershock of a disastrous marriage, the position of secretary-ghostwriter to Major Charles Storrington seems the ideal opportunity to exorcise a few demons of her own. Sarah will help Major Storrington, confined to a wheelchair by the tank accident that finished a promising military career, to research and write the family history of the Storringtons, an armaments dynasty. She will also serve as governess to his small son. To her dismay, Sarah finds the menage at Maidenshall, the great Victorian mansion built on the site of a nunnery, a decidedly uneasy one: Elegant, lovely Cressida is patently unable to overcome the blow dealt her marriage by Charles's crippling. Bored, diversion-starved, she increasingly seeks escape in her London fashion career and, perhaps, in the arms of other men; Adolphus "Dolly" Storrington is lonely, distracted child who spends most of his waking hours in the company of a fantasy playmate who has entirely, almost unnaturally, possessed the boy's hyperactive imagination; The Major, handsome, still powerful, and restive in his wheelchair prison, alternates between bursts of creative energy and raging, frustration-provoked outbursts at his family, his servants, and even at Sarah, who is falling inexorably in love with him; And Henrietta Galloway, the nonagenarian retainer who wanders about Maidenshall unsettling whomever she encounters with her ramblings of days long past. As Sarah moves deeper into the family papers, she experiences a distinct sense of something unfinished, unresolved, about the Storringtons. But it is not until her research yields up two diaries out of Edwardian times that she discovers a fascinating family legend-the legend of Hannah Knox. In these two accounts-one innocently observing, the other eloquent with the pain of betrayal-Sarah learns of the illicit passion of that earlier governess for another Charles Storrington, and of its bitter aftermath. Sarah Goodwill falls in thrall, as will every reader of this novel, to the spell of Hannah Knox and to her anguished story of love and betrayal and revenge. Hannah Knox's fate stands at the heart of The Storrington Papers and has the power ultimately to determine Sarah Goodwill's own.
