The Narrow House (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781432696870)

The Narrow House is a novel written by Evelyn Scott. It tells the story of a young woman named Judith Stone who, following the death of her father, moves to New York City to live with her aunt and uncle. Judith is a talented artist and quickly becomes involved in the bohemian art scene of the city. She meets a number of interesting characters, including a poet named Max and a wealthy socialite named Claire. As Judith becomes more involved in the art world, she begins to question the values and beliefs of her conservative upbringing. She struggles with her own identity and desires, and is torn between her love for Max and her desire for financial security with Claire. The novel explores themes of love, art, and social class, and provides a vivid portrayal of the cultural and artistic scene in New York City during the 1920s. It is a beautifully written and thought-provoking work that captures the spirit of the era and the struggles of a young woman trying to find her place in the world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
