Book Description Soft Cover. Condition: Very Good. This 4.25 x 7 softcover has 412 pages. Rose, the youngest daughter and perceptive narrator of The Fountain Overflows, is a mildly fictional, youthful Rebecca West. In early 1900s London, Papa, misunderstood writer and never-successful politician, goes away - again - to earn money. The children stay very busy being young, trying hard to respect, reconcile, and live with Mamma's tradition of genteel Englishness and Papa's foolishness while their worrisome - and embarrassing - poverty deepens. Mamma is discouraged but brave, "a nerve-jerked woman" able to "straighten her shoulders and cock her hat and assume the character of a smart and undefeated woman." A concert pianist turned wife and mother, she makes music a constant for her children. Seller Inventory # md6300
