Die große Liebe

Potrait of a marriage - For Edward Haslatt there was no thought of another woman. He loved his wife with a devotion that began with their courtship and grew with the years. Yet Margaret Haslatt had a rival more dangerous than any sloe-eyed mistress. - Edward had built his father's printing shop into a thriving publishing house. He gave himself to it with all his time and energy. But for a married man there are other demands. There is a constant conflict between his wife's needs and the pressures of his work, between his temperament and hers. There are the donflicts that simmer under the surface of every male and female, conflicts that sometimes flare into a blaze of anger. This intimate story by Pearl S. Buck (written originally under the pseudonym John Sedges which she used from 1945 until at least 1949)
