This might change on further mulling over, but right now I think a 6.5/10 is a fair assessment of the reading experience as a whole.Ī beautiful young woman with a troubling family background (deserted by father, mother a not very successful writer/poetess, three siblings who moon about wasting their days and ignoring the squalor of their shabby rented bungalow situated in a subdivided California orchard on the outskirts of San Francisco) makes the acquaintance of a wealthy local family, the Flaggs. My rating: Parts of this were an easy 10, but other parts not so much. The American Flaggsby Kathleen Norris ~ 1936. (Not my copy, which is the 1937 Sun Dial Press edition.) The illustration emphasizes the “we Flaggs are united in our happy prosperity” in comparison to Miss Fitzpercy’s solitary advancement. First edition Doubleday dust jacket illustration from 1936.
