About the Authors

John O’Hara was one of America’s keenest chroniclers of class, ambition, and social pressure, known for his sharply observed novels of mid-century American life.
Mildred Savage was a Connecticut-born writer whose breakout novel Parrish captured the tension and drama of New England’s tobacco-farming world.

A handsome pair of mid-century novels—ideal for readers, decorators, and vintage-fiction collectors.
