[generally a solid clean copy, very slight bumping at a couple of corners, some roughness to cloth along rear hinge (binding flaw?), vintage bookseller's label (from Newbegins, San Francisco) on rear pastedown; jacket edgeworn with small tears and minor paper loss at most corners, worn at front fold and split about two inches up from bottom, various other small tears and nicks, some soiling to rear panel]. "A dramatic novel of human character set in a small seaside town in Cuba dominated by American sugar interests." Cozzens, a future Pulitzer Prize-winner, had lived in Cuba for several years after publishing his second novel, "Michael Scarlett," in 1924; his observations and experiences there informed both this book and the preceding one, "Cock Pit," published in 1928. .
