Additional information
by M. B. Goffstein (Author)
Two sensitive and funny portraits of young women determined to be artists and coming of age in the late 1950s, M. B. Goffstein's novels for young adults are available again--published together for the first time in one volume.
Drawing from the author's own life experience, The Underside of the Leaf and Daisy Summerfield's Style are both about the journeys of girls from the Midwest, as they explore the boundaries of their lives and talent. In each, New York City plays a powerful part particularly the artistic and bohemian center, Greenwich Village. Enjoyable simply as fiction, the setting of time period and place creates an additional dimension. It is a view into the lives of young women seeking to define themselves apart from men and family approval. Suitable for middle-grade readers, adults will equally love these two women's stories. This is one of four volumes in the collected writing of M. B. Goffstein series: Words Alone: Twenty-Six Books Without Pictures, Art Girls Together: Two Novels, Daisy Summerfield's Art: The Complete Flea Market Mysteries, and Biography of Miss Go Chi: Novelettos & Poems
