The Bitter Passion by John Wadleigh (1959) (R73c2) E. P. Dutton & Co. First Edition HC

an unusual story. It is a study of the obsessional love of an old Mexican woman for her grandson. The intensity of her devotion, the deep but scarcely articulate understanding that exists between herself and the boy, frayed nerves and tense situations engendered by emotional strain and violent heat all this, as well as the awakening of the boy's love for an American girl of a sophisticated way of life out of touch with his own, is conveyed with a remarkable economy of language and a fresh and skillful use of imagery.
