Dusty Answer by Rosamond Lehmann. Hardbound without dust jacket. Henry Holt and Company. First American Edition September 1927. 5 3/8 by 7 5/8 inches. 348 pages. Location: Box 203

This book is in very good condition. There is some minor edge wear. There is some corner Bumping. The binding is tight with no loose or missing pages. There is a name written above an ex libris block that is part of the endpapers. There is also a bookmarker (string) that is part of the binding and is intact. There is also a small portion of the dust jacket which was used as a bookmarker.

Here is the blurb from the small piece of the dust jacket that remained:

-on Times gave the following review written by Alfred Noyes, of DUSTY ANSWER:

"This is a remarkable book. It is not often that one can say with confidence of a first novel by a young writer that it reveals new possibilities for literature. But there are qualities in this book that mark it out as quite the most striking first novel of this generation. It is a study of modern youth, and its outlook is entirely that of the present day. It traces the development of the character of its heroine-judith-from childhood, with her childhood's companions, and through her career at Cambridge, - with its friendships, and the emotional snare in which Judith's first love struggles like a young falcon for truth. The, modern young woman, with all her frankness and perplexities in the semi-pagan world of today, has never been depicted with more honesty, or with a more exquisite art. It is the kind of a novel that might have been written by Keats if Keats had been a young novelist of today. It holds the promise of a future of which English literature may one day be proud."
