Product Description
During the summer of 1946, twenty-year-old Elizabeth is doing what she has dreamed of since she was a little girl: working in the theatre. Elizabeth is passionate about her work and determined to learn all she can at the summer theatre company on the sea where she is an apprentice actress. She’s never felt so alive. And soon she finds another passion: Kurt Canitz, the dashing young director of the company, and the first man Elizabeth’s ever kissed who has really meant something to her. Then Elizabeth’s perfect summer is profoundly shaken when Kurt turns out not to be the kind of man she thought he was.
Moving and romantic, this coming-of-age story was written during the 1940s. As revealed in an introduction by the author’s granddaughter Léna Roy, the protagonist Elizabeth is close to an autobiographical portrait of L’Engle herself as a young woman—“vibrant, vulnerable, and yearning for love and all that life has to offer.”
What's an "ARC"?
An advance copy, also known as an advance reading copy or ARC, is a copy of a book released by its publisher before the book has gone to press for a complete printing. ARCs generally do not have the final dust jacket, formatting or binding of the finished product; the text of an ARC may also differ from that of the published book if the book is edited after the ARC is produced. ARCs are normally distributed to reviewers, bookstores, magazines, and (in some cases) libraries between three and six months before the book is officially released.
Payment is due within five (5) days of winning bid. I accept PayPal and Money Orders.
If you're unsure of the ways of PayPal, let me know. I'll gently aid you through the process, much like a Psychopomp traveling to the Underworld.
Shipping is calculated by weight and distance. I do try to be conservative and certainly do not attempt to make money on shipping. A deplorable practice, don't you agree?
I take great care not to misrepresent my items. Returns will be evaluated on a case-by-case basis.
If you have zero or negative feedback, please do contact me before bidding. If I don't hear from you, I'm afraid I'll have to remove your bid. Yes. I can do that. EBay has bestowed these godlike powers upon me. They are both a blessing and a curse.
Everything I send you comes from a smoke-free home. I quit smoking, just for you!
I'm a nice girl in her 20's trying to earn her way in this workaday world of ours. Most of the money I earn on eBay goes towards my rent, which is expensive since I live in a rural area full of rich artists and doctors.
Que sera, sera.
