Description: Original red cloth on boards. No writing. Small nick in front hinge. This novel about a prominent business man and his discussions with a psychiatrist has been seen by some as a love letter from Wells to Margaret Sanger, the prime mover of birth control efforts which did not bear official results until many years later. A "thinly-veiled autobiography" perhaps, as some have said. At any rate it seems to be widely agreed that Wells's writing during his "social period" is not up to the previous standard. 286 pp. Size: 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall

Price: US$25.00 + shipping
Condition: Very Good
Description: First printing May, 1922. Previous owner's inscription on front free end paper. Tips are bent; bit of soiling to covers. Gilt from title rubbed and a small white spot on spine. In SECRET PLACES OF THE HEART a man on the verge of a nervous breakdown goes on a vacation with his psycharitrist and on the way he rediscovers his zest for life with the help of a young woman. Wells passed through a period from about 1922 to 1925, in which he wrote several novels on the subject of mental illness. This is the first of them and its insights into the human condition are remarkable. So too, is its treatment of personalites and romantic relationships. Those who contend that Wells was incapable of realistic character development simply haven't read this book.
