Letty Fox
Author(s): Christina Stead
In this classic novel by Christina Stead, published here with an introduction by Carmen Callil, Letty Fox tells her story as a self-styled woman in New York's world of passion, love and sexual bargaining. As a bright, uninhibited daughter of a middle class couple who believes the world is her oyster, Letty Fox tells it all - family secrets, social scandals, her desires and self-deceptions. Letty Fox discovers that the pleasures of modern love are matched by the pain and exhaustion of a game that men and women play unequally.
