LITTLE, BROWN

THIS short novel covers one Sunday in the wartime life of the Bridges family in Brooklyn. There is Old Alan Bridges, who has let life lick him; Dave, who has enough of what he wants to keep him satisfied; Eddie, who has sold his soul to the bosses for dubious favors; and Nick, who doesn’t know there is a war on, and never will. There are women to match. Then there is Miley, who thinks reasonably about it all. Miley thinks a bit too reasonably where his girl is concerned; but Sally can be trusted to take good care of Miley when he comes back from the war. These are people we have all met — some of them are thoroughly unpleasant; some are the salt of the earth, and well worth knowing.
