EATON, Evelyn. Desire--Spanish Version
EATON, Evelyn. Desire—Spanish Version. London: Chapman & Hall. 1932. 8vo. First edition. Publisher’s green cloth lettered in black to the spine, in the attractive dust jacket. A very good copy, the cloth clean and bright, the spine head and tail just a trifle bumped. The binding tight and very gently rolled. Some light offsetting to endpapers, else fine. The dust jacket priced 7/6 net, complete, small chips, closed tears and creases to the spine head and tail, neat tape repair here, smaller nicks to corners and some edges, with light speckles of dirt to front panel.
A very early novel by this trailblazing British-born Canadian and later American author, a realist love story which exposes some of the Paris film studios. Eaton eschewed her preternatural expectations, giving birth out of wedlock while studying at the Sorbonne. She made her literary breakthrough after this novel, with a series of novels set in New France. Time in journalism and later academia were stepping stones to the spiritual life she longed for, recognising her indigenous roots, spending the remainder of her life as a Medicine Woman for several indigenous tribes across the West Coast of the United States. This first edition very scarce, preceding the US edition published a year later.
