This is a book my dad collected along with some other older books. Need to read.
FROM GOODREADS: The story of Mary Campbell Sylvester "Cam", a lonely married California socialite who falls in love with the handsome writer John Kilgarif. Cam leaves her beloved children and life to be with the man she loves,but will his love demand to much of her. Strangely gripping romance novel that paints a skillfull portrait of emotional neediness and includes an interesting gothic element of psycological suspense.

Large sections of this book were unenjoyable because the "heroine" is such an idiot about a weasel of a man. Really, the only parts where I liked her were at the ranch, when no men were around, and maybe the last page and a half, which is the only part where she's thinking like a reasonable person.
I think I like Faith Baldwin better, now that I've read both of these; she writes stronger/more sensible women, and has more hilarious quotations.

Set in the days when California was all cowboys and ranches and quiet orchards, this is one of those "houseful of people waiting for someone to die" sort of stories---but no sleaze, no contrived impossibilities---just normal classic behaviors one would expect in this sort of a story. It's one of the perfect gothics, in my opinion, and the big secret was a total shocker. Yep, rarely do I get very far into a book without having the whole thing figured out. This one got me---well written for sure!
Yay Kathleen Norris. We miss your kind.… (plus d'informations)
