185 pp. "...a family that is held together mainly by sharing the same lugubrious roof and board. The negative center of the house is the mother, a woman who has been denied loved and who is being pushed into unbearable isolation from which she seeks refuge by taking to the bottle. ...The story is told as it is experienced by her dauther, who, though absorbed in her own love affair, is the only one conscious of the drama that is evolving with Greek inevitability."--Front jacket flap
