Hardcover. Condition: Fair. Dust Jacket Condition: fair. Second Printing. [8], 339, [5] pages. Presentation bookplate on front endpaper, burn hole in DJ spine, spine also damaged. Signed by the author. An American and a French woman in 19th-century Paris work their way around the rigid rules of their social set. This moving tale of regret and compromise values a sense of family over lonely career advancement, yet thankfully avoids positing marriage and children as a strong woman's only reprieve from alienation. Kate Lehrer (born Kate Tom Staples; December 17, 1939) is an American writer, novelist and book reviewer from Washington, D.C., and a panelist on the Diane Rehm Book Club on National Public Radio. She is the widow of fellow writer and journalist Jim Lehrer. Lehrer has written four novels, as well as numerous short stories, essays, and book reviews. Her first novel, Best Intentions, was published in 1987. When They Took Away the Man in the Moon came out in 1993. Out of Eden, which won the Western Heritage Award for Outstanding Novel, was published in 1996. Confessions of a Bigamist: A Novel, described by the Washington Post as whimsical and droll, was published in 2004. Publishers Weekly describes Lehrer's writing style as intelligent and mannered. In 2004, she was awarded an Honorary Doctor of Letters degree by McDaniel College. Derived from a Publishers Weekly article: Meeting in Paris in the 1880s, American widow Lydia Fulgate and disinherited French socialite Charlotte Duret chafe under society's restrictions. Unwilling to be imprisoned in marriage, the two travel to Kansas, of all places, buy land, build twin houses and settle down to raise sheep in cattle country. The town of Huddleston doesn't know what to make of Lydia, the controlling idealist, and Charlotte, the vulnerable but resilient realist, as they fashion their lives on the brutal, beautiful Kansas prairies. Over the years, the two are joined by friends from Paris and engage in secret love affairs, their lives eased by the sage advice of their maid, Norah, who sympathizes with their yearning to free themselves from society's dictums but sees the costs, which Charlotte and Lydia ignore totally. In her intelligent, mannered style, Lehrer ably portrays social pressures and conventions of the period and writes well-nuanced dialogue. Derived from a Kirkus review: A strange novel about two society women who attempt to create a feminist utopia in turn-of-the-century Kansas. Lydia, an American in Paris, is immersed as the story begins in a cat-and-mouse romance with a shifty Lothario who mistakes her for one of the hordes of wealthy American girls sent to Europe to find titled husbands. Lydia, however, has little to offer: Her tiny fortune is being whittled away by the demands of Parisian society. Newly thrown into the marriage game is the headstrong Charlotte, and she too is indifferent to the prospect of marriage, which she interprets as servitude. After a series of broken hearts, familial and romantic, the two become fast friends and decide to become pioneers. In search of their ``essence,'' the two hope to escape the rigid class and social distinctions of an ostentatious society in favor of a simpler, more meaningful way of life. Or as Charlotte chirps: ``We can discover what it really means to be a woman and, in the process, liberate ourselves from other people's definitions. We can be free!'' So with trunkloads of enthusiasm, the two purchase land in Kansas, building two identical homes, connected by a walkway, christening their new world Twin House Farms. A quaint idea, though the charm dampens and they forget all about capturing their ``essence'' when confronted by the hardships of prairie life. After years of hardship, the women are defeated thoroughly by both external and internal forces.
