Description:

"As if Willa Cather had decided to tell the whole truth....We are captured by her craft."--John Leonard,New York Times Long out of print,Chamber Musicis Doris Grumbach's masterpiece. The Pushcart Press is honored to bring her novel back on the occasion of her ninetieth birthday. In her extraordinary tale, Grumbach re-creates the aura of turn-of-the-century Frankfurt, Boston, and Saratoga Springs--an age when private passions were hidden below the surfaces of public selves.
