The Housekeeper's Daughter by Donald Clarke Circa. 1942, from Triangle Books
 
"Hilde is one of my worries. A child who is so attractive - who - well - that hair really is immoral, although, of course, it isn't her fault - poor child. I don't think her mother realizes how she has matured." Excerpt from Chapt.1 of The Housekeeper's Daughter.

This book, while written in the upbeat and witty fashion of its time, is, unfortunately, an abysmal failure at sluicing out the emotional or intellectual mind of a woman. Instead, falling back on stereotypical, chauvinistic characterizations of women. Consequently, what could have been a fun, sexy, romantic comedy turned out to be a sad and dispiriting disappointment. I soothed my wounded intellectual ego by reminding myself of the time period that it was written in ... still sad.
