Albert and Charles Boni, New York, 1930 First Edition, second printing. Good+ condition, no jacket. The Woman of Andros is a 1930 novel by Thornton Wilder. Inspired by Andria, a comedy by Terence, it was the third-best selling book in the United States in 1930. The novel is set on the fictional Greek island of Brynos in the pre-Christian era, probably around 200 B.C. The book examines conflicts between Christian and pre-Christian morality. Though some reviews considered the novel a masterpiece, others were more critical. However, reading the first page (shown above) may have been jealousy on those critical. Wilder was an excellent writer that captivated the reader. Tight, clean and unmarked texts. Size: 5¼” x 8¼” tall, 162 pages.
