JEAN STAFFORD Twenty-nine-year-old Jean Stafford made a bold entrance onto the American literary scene in 1944 when her first novel, Boston Adventure, became a surprise best seller, its style inviting comparisons to James and Proust. She followed this remarkable debut with two more acclaimed novels, The Mountain Lion (1947) and The Catherine Wheel (1952). All three works are gathered here for the first time in a single volume, allowing readers to rediscover the extraordinary talent of this midcentury master of precise prose and acute psychological insight. Sonia Marburg, the protagonist of Boston Adventure, grows up in the North Shore tillage of Chichester, the daughter of a choleric marriage between immigrant parents who remain outsiders fit America. Seeking to escape the material and spiritual impoverishment of her childhood, Sonia looks across the bay at the State House dome in Boston for the promise of a richer life. Her dreams seem to find fulfillment when she secures a position as secretary-companion to Miss Lucy Pride, a summer guest at the hotel where Sonia cleans rooms, and moves into Miss Pride’s Beacon Hill home. Boston Adventure is a perceptive satire of upper-class Boston society and a quicksilver portrait of a young woman trying to navigate a singular transit between very different worlds. “Ralph was ten and Molly was eight when they had scarlet fever.” In a colloquial voice evocative of the American West, The Mountain Lion is the haunting story of Ralph and Molly Fawcett and their troubled passage from childhood. Sickly, self-conscious, and eerily precocious,
brother and sister live on a walnut farm in southern California, where, outsiders at school and at home, they share an intimate, private world. That world is threatened when they begin spending summers on the Colorado ranch of their Uncle Claude. There Ralph embraces the rugged ideal of Western manhood, while Molly withdraws into uneasy sofimde. As their childhood bond frays, the story moves inexorably toward a devastating conclusion.
Set in a Stimmer house in coastal Maine, The Catherine Wheel tells of the relationship between Andrew Shipley, a lonely twelve-year-old boy angry that his best friend has abandoned him, and his adored older cousin Katharine Congreve, a wealthy woman still bitter that Andrew’s father married her cousin instead of her. Over the course of a long summer, as Andrew and Katharine become increasingly obsessed by their secret desires for revenge, the veneer of genteel society begins to crack. In lyrical prose at once sharp-witted and moumfiil, Stafford spins out the tragic consequences of jealousy, resentment, and spiritual isolation.
