Nice jacket art by George Salter. [From front jacket flap] The House on Coliseum Street is a very different kind of novel indeed from The Hard Blue Sky. It tells of a shattering incident in a young girl's life and it is so beautifully and compactly constructed that from the beginning to the end it compels the reader's attention. Truly an unlaydownable novel. In a typical, century-old New Orleans town house, a female strain dominates: Joan Mitchell's mother - five times married with a daughter to show for each marriage - rules the roost casually, and Joan and her prettier, bitchier, younger half- sister, pursuing their pleasures, come and go as they please. But one summer when Joan is twenty she has an affair with a castoff beau of her sister's - an affair that has far-reaching consequences, shaking Joan's hold on reality. What develops as she tries to relate what is happening around her to what is happening within and as she moves inevitably toward an irrevocable and cruel act of reprisal is the substance of Miss Grau's gripping story. Typography, binding and jacket design by George Salter.
