Description
"Linda Condon" by Joseph Hergesheimer is a novel published in 1919. It follows a wealthy woman who never learns to feel or express emotion. Raised by her single mother in a succession of hotels, Linda drifts through life as a detached observer. Married at eighteen to a lawyer twice her age, she remains emotionally frozen—"a woman of alabaster" who calls herself "the most sterile woman alive." When a sculptor from her past reenters her life, Linda faces a choice that could finally awaken something within her. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
