Always Goodbye by Marjorie Vernon Vintage Romance Book 1964 First Edition thus RBC

Vintage romance book by Marjorie Vernon. This book comes to you in lovely bright condition and makes a delightful romantic read. The heroine of the novel Dena Rolands is looking forward to her Austrian holiday as her husband Peter behaves awfully towards her but she puts up with him because she is burdened by guilt and responsibility. When she realises her heart is open to the possibility of romance it surprises no-one more than herself!

As our heroine arrives on holiday, her heart is awakened when she meets a charming and handsome Austrian - they gel instantly. But this is all pointless, isn't it as she is stuck in her miserable marriage?

"Her husband Peter, treated her abominably; but there was a special secret reason why she had to put up with his bad temper, a special reason why she even above other wives, should be loyal."

As Dena and her husband navigate the twists and turns of marriage, love and desire we travel with them to the surprising outcome. Will Dena and Peter regain their love? Read the book to find out if you want a gentle and thought provoking romance set in the 1960's era.

The book was published by The Romance Book Club, 121 Charing Cross Rd, run by the famous London Bookshop 'Foyles'.

The Romance Book Club published these super vintage hardback books with their charming historical romances or romances set in the early to mid 20th century that make gentle and uncomplicated reads if you are looking for innocent romantic escapism.

Super Dust Jacket Art by Francis Marshall Barbara Cartland's favourite artist who also worked with Vogue in the 1950's and 1960's.

The book comes to you in near pristine condition with the beautifully designed nostalgic dust jacket art showing the wonderful 1960's fashions. I find these vintage dust jackets so appealing and think they make great collectable books to display especially when in such good condition as this one, almost as if it has travelled through time straight from the 1960's.

A perfect romantic read where you can immerse yourself in the complications of love in the past world of the 20th century.

Kittys Reader Notes & Book Excerpt

"When Dena Rolands turned the car into the the drive of the Hotel Rosenhof she had no idea that this Austrian holiday was going to change her whole life.

Unfortunately, duty doesn't control the heart, and Dena could not help falling in love although she knew it could mean nothing but unhappiness. Torn by feelings of guilt and by the thought of the inevitable parting, Dena did not realise that Peter, too had his problems, his own secret longings and frustrations. She little guessed, for instance that another woman would give him something that she herself, although she tried so hard, never could....

Always Goodbye is a powerful story of human emotions told with deep understanding and compassion by one of today's most experienced romance writers. "
