reviews_and_ramblingsThis is the cover of a 1938 romance by Faith Baldwin, Hotel Hostess, and the tagline says: "Could she find real love in this world of Roving Husbands, Jealous Wives and GAY BACHELORS?"... well, no, today, I thinkg she could not! even the third possible alternative is definitely out! (pun intended)
And to stay on the same line, I'd really love to have a look at a book by Sophie Cole. Sophie Cole was the first author published by Mills & Boon in 1909 and she later became also a shareholders of the firm. Her books are now almost disappeared, but her private collection was donated to the University of Reading, with her brother's own library, a professor at the same University. Why I'm interested? Well, her last book is QUEER NEIGHBOURS (1946)!
If you are interested in knowing something more about Faith Baldwin, I have just posted about her:
