Seller's Description:
Good in good dust jacket. Outline: -They seemed like the perfect couple-young good-looking made for each other. The moment Pauline a stranger to the Polish Eastern Avenue neighborhood of Baltimore (though she lived only twenty minutes away) walked into his mother`s grocery store Michael was smitten. And in the heat of World War II fervor they are propelled into a hasty wedding. But they never should have married. Pauline impulsive impractical tumbles hit-or-miss through life; Michael plodding cautious judgmental proceeds deliberately. While other young marrieds equally ignorant at the start seemed to grow more seasoned Pauline and Michael remain amateurs. In time their foolish quarrels take their toll. Even when they find themselves almost thirty years later loving instant parents to a little grandson named Pagan whom they rescue from Haight-Ashbury they still cannot bridge their deep-rooted differences. Flighty Pauline clings to the notion that the rifts can always be patched. To the unyielding Michael they become unbearable. -> the publisher of this PAPERBACK book is Vintage Books The date of this copy is 2004 booksalvation have grade it as Good and it will be shipped from our UK warehouse This book is from the Series.
