Dangerous Days
New York: George H. Doran, C. 1919. First Printing. Hardcover. Presumed first printing, does not have GHD logo on copyright page, but Doran was sporadic in its use back then. Book very good with just a touch of wear, light corner bumping, jacket very good with general light edgewear, spine darkening and with light scratching or surface marks, toning to rear panel, very uncommon in a nice example of the jacket. One of her novels in which Pittsburgh is the unnamed but probable setting. As America prepares for the Great War, steel magnate Clayton Spencer becomes increasingly aware of the shallowness of his wife and his widening distance from his son, Graham. Graham, who wants to enlist, struggles to overcome his mother's selfish love and his own weak nature. While Clayton starts to fall in love with Audrey, a "real" woman who shares his views on war and enlistment, German workers in his factories seek to sabotage Clayton's munitions plant. Very good / very good. Item #H30828
