The Squirrel-Cage
Dorothy Canfield
$20.00

The author’s first novel, set in a small Ohio town. In the words of a critic reviewing her work in 1928, it was “a singularly uncheerful, grim book showing a fine American girl, too sensitive to be a good fighter, struggling helplessly like a person in a nightmare against the smothering, well-intentioned materialism about her. [The author succeeded] in making you feel the intensity of a girl’s rebellion and the tightening of the net in which life sometimes catches its creatures.”
