"Books serve to show a man that those original thoughts of his aren't very new after all."
— Abraham Lincoln
The Naive and Sentimental Lover.
London: Hodder and Stoughton, 1971. [Suspense] PROOF COPY. Octavo (20 x 14cm), pp.416. Publisher's grey paper covers, decorated with the publisher's logo, and showing titles, publication date and a price of £2.25 in green. Rather bright and fresh, with one soft fold to cover and gentle toning to spine. Near fine. This acclaimed novel follows Aldo Cassidy (the naive and sentimental lover), a successful, judicious man, wrenched away from the ordered certainties of his life by a sudden encounter with Shamus, a wild, carousing artist and Helen, his nakedly alluring wife. Cassidy, plunged into a whirlpool of recklessness and spontaneity, becomes a man bewildered and agonised as he is torn between two poles of a nature more complex than he had ever imagined.
