Winter Meeting bears no
resemblance to these two, but is a modern American love story which deals with
different kinds of love. The problems it poses have a universal quality, and
Miss Vance deals with them with sympathy and understanding.
It is the story of a few days in
the lives of a man. Congressional Medal hero of submarine warfare, and a
remarkable and lovely woman, a New England writer whose life has been marred by
a tragic childhood. In their "winter meeting,” they find themselves.
Novak, the young hero whose faith was shattered by the aftermath of the very
act that proved his courage, discovers it again. Susan, the woman, is finally
released from the inhibitions that bound her.
Ethel Vance, under her own name,
Grace Zaring Stone, has also written The
Bitter Tea of General Yen.
