195424901New York: Harper & Brothers. Near Fine in Very Good dj. c.1954. Later Printing. Hardcover. nice clean book with just a touch of shelfwear; jacket similarly nice with faint soiling here and here. line drawings In her last published book the author of "My Sister Eileen" writes of the humorous travails experienced by her family when they decided to move from Connecticut to Brussels in 1947 -- how she her husband and their three children "came face to face with French civilization; or vice-versa a report on the startled Bruxellois face to face with them." It's blurbed as a "delightful rib-tickling story" but in retrospect it seems there must have been some desperation behind the light-heartedness: McKenney's husband Richard Bransten committed suicide the year after its publication on Ruth's 44th birthday. She published one final unsuccessful novel in 1956 a piece of historical fiction a genre in which she'd never worked before then went silent as a writer until her death in 1972. The American edition of this book is for some unknown reason much less commonly seen than the British edition. . Harper & Brothers hardcover books
