About This Item

Synopsis
HER INFINITE VARIETY spins the charmingly wicked tale of Clara Hoyt, perhaps one of the most colorful characters in the Auchincloss oeuvre. Employing uncommon savvy and elan, she charts a wildly entertaining course to the inner sanctum of New York's aristocracy and to the boardrooms of the publishing world. With characteristic urbanity and wit, Auchincloss offers a larger comment on what some women did to get ahead in the middle of the twentieth century.

About John and Tabitha's Kerriosity Bookshop
I love books. Always an eager reader, I started collecting Antiquarian books while a teenager and studying history. Flash forward a couple of decades and I am excited to open a new all-digital bookstore to continue my love of books, while bringing desired books to readers, collectors, and other sellers. From Post-Incunables to modern First Editions, I will be regularly adding new stock.
