Book Synopsis: LUST AND LONELINESS -- SURRENDER AND SIN
Only John O'Hara could give us this rich assembly of characters caught in the steel grip of passion and fate.
-- The Philadelphia dowager whose bitter secret threatens to destroy her son.
-- The starlet who discovers the hard way that she can't go home again.
-- The ex-boxing champion who can't keep his hands off the girls.
O'Hara's men and women are real -- and his uncompromising genius reveals in them the fears and desires that most of us keep hidden from the world.
