About the Book (Excerpts & Info)

This novel portrays a world of privilege with wit and poignant economy. At its center is a woman who rises from humble beginnings to lend glamor to that world when, despite misgivings, she marries into a newspaper dynasty dominated by a capricious magnate. Her destiny takes her to Manhattan, to a society in Long Island that illustrates her belief that the rich have never lived so riotously as during the Depression and to a bizarre castle in California. During World War II, she goes as a correspondent to London where she has her only rewarding relationship with a man who is younger than herself, and later to Paris when she abandons her husband. It is in this city that, after several disillusioning affairs, that her life ends with her recognition that the world, which had once seemed immense with promise, is no bigger than a hotel room.

Deftly constructed at 644 pages, A Small World is being aggressively promoted to appropriate markets with a focus on the Fiction/ Literary category. With U.S. wholesale distribution through Ingram and Baker & Taylor, and pervasive online availability through Amazon, Barnes & Noble and elsewhere, A Small World meets consumer demand through both retail and library markets with a suggested retail price of $16.95.
