About this title

Synopsis

Depicts a woman's tragic surrender into the family cycle of alcoholism and her courage to prevail

Reviews

First novelist Hemingway (granddaughter of you-know-who) tells a familiar and sometimes compelling tale of a girl coming of age in a violently alcoholic home. How autobiographical Eva's life story is may be moot, but the sad, hard-drinking extended family in the novel has some definite Hemingway parallels. Eva's half-crazy father is long gone but for occasional visits, and her stepfather abuses her mother, who is so far lost to alcohol that she can barely function. Eva escapes from a dismal stay at a psychiatric hospital to her strong Aunt Freda, but a loveless marriage and the birth of her daughter are followed by Eva's own decline into depression and alcoholism. Walking into the River is self-absorbed and whiny, but the subject, and the dash of star appeal, may interest some.

Store Description

I have a large inventory of children's books, cookbooks, collectibles, classics, first editions, signed books, history, biographies, science, textbooks, and more. Each book to me is a "precious jewel" and I try and describe it, giving you a good understanding of its content, and also its condition. One example, I have a John Muir book where he has written in the margins all through it to correct mistakes made by the publisher. (this was confirmed by John Muir historic site for me) I have over 50,000 books and some are quite rare from 1800's to 2020's. I've been collecting books for over 50 years and now am a spry 80 and going strong. I try and get books out same day as order comes in and love it when someone writes that they's been looking for a book for years and finally found it with me!
