Amidst the crumbling taverns and overgrown yards, she dreams: of New York, romance, her future.

But her lighter-skinned husband has dreams too: of the Foxy Cats Club, other women, war. And the 'scraps of baffled hate' - a certain word from a saleswoman; that visit to the cinema; the cruelty of a department store Santa Claus- are always there .\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWritten in 1953 but never published in Britain,\u003ci\u003e Maud Martha \u003c\/i\u003eis a poetic collage of happenings that forms an extraordinary portrait of an ordinary life: one lived with wisdom, humour, protest, rage, dignity, and joy.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buchserien.de","offers":[{"title":"Neuware","offer_id":54029410828626,"sku":"9780571373253","price":14.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0615\/7002\/3593\/files\/unnamed_161c9bdb-d4d4-4fc2-b16d-8b2edd572c76.jpg?v=1784319498","url":"https:\/\/www.buchserien.de\/products\/maud-martha-faber-editions","provider":"Buchserien.de","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
