It's a passionate conflict sparked by the return of local girl Eloise King after a decade away in New York...bringing with her the Bohemian ideals of Greenwich Village. The characters include an Italian bootlegger, a sex-starved librarian, a philandering husband, a conniving actress attracted to married men, and the return of Cora Potts, the colorful heroine of Greene's first book.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003ePreviously published in 1932 as \u003ci\u003eWeep No More\u003c\/i\u003e.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"A dramatic explosion.\" \u003ci\u003ePortland Oregonian\u003c\/i\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\"An exceptionally good story of the modern south.
