Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good+. Zustand des Schutzumschlags: Very Good+ dj. First Edition. [a good sound copy, mild bumping to the lower corners; the jacket shows just minor wear and itsy-bitsy paper loss at several corners]. INSCRIBED and SIGNED by the author on the front endpaper: "September 28, 1949 / For Bacon Collamore -- / May you find this novel worthy of / your collection. / Best wishes - / Roger Dooley." This "nostalgic and endearing" novel is "a family-chronicle story about the members of the Shanahan clan in the days of Buffalo's turbulent Irish First Ward and of the effects of selfishness and pride, materialism and the American idea of progress upon their age." The protagonist is Rose Shanahan, a young teacher, who's dumped by the wishy-washy guy she's in love with, but still carries a torch for him and thus rebuffs the attentions of an ambitious young policeman; things get complicated when the first guy comes back to town. "Interwoven with the problems of Rose is the story of the other oft-divided branches of the Shanahan clan in its feasts and its feuds, its wakes and weddings, with the rich ones and the repressed ones, the social climbers and the drunkards. From behind the lace curtains of solid respectability comes now a revelation of all the laughter and tears of a way of life neither truly Irish nor typically American, yet somehow both." (A previous seller's penciled note on the front endpaper notes this as having been "Carter Burden's copy.") ***This book is among the nearly 150 items offered in ReadInk's new Catalog Number 4, "Booking Passage: Books on the Immigrant Experience."
