One hot night last spring, after waiting fruitlessly for a call from my then lover, with whom I had quarrelled the same afternoon, and finding one of my black moods on me, I flung out of my lonely room on the ninth floor (unlucky number) in a hotel in lower Fifth Avenue and rushed into the streets of the Village, feeling bad.

Letty Fox is hunting for a husband. Her picaresque adventures are brilliantly described in this imaginative portrayal of a woman who might have been independent, but chose otherwise.

Industry Reviews

'To open a book, any book, by Christina Stead and read a few pages is to be at once aware that one is in the presence of greatness ... Letty Fox: Her Luck is a fully achieved comic novel of a most original kind' Angela Carter.
'Reissued as part of the Apollo imprint's mission to rescue neglected literary gems, with a brilliant introduction by Tim Parks, it is a compelling tour de force, spilling over with exuberant characters, richly observed settings an mordant wit' The Lady.
'A fascinating read which gives much food for thought as well as painting some larger than life characters and settings ... Another worthwhile addition to Apollo's reprint series' Shiny New Books.
'A darkly comic novel' Simple Things magazine.
