VG+, very nice, solid, clean copy. "In the highly acclaimed 'Street of Riches', Gabrielle Roy introduced the unforgettable characters of Christine and her vibrant, full-blooded family. In 'The Road Past Altamont', she daringly returns to the same characters and the nearly identical timespan, but by looking at her subjects with an entirely fresh vision, she creates a wholly new and deeply personal story of a young girl's decision to become a writer." 12mo - over 6¾" - 7¾" tall.
