A surprising book, especially given when it was written. It is as if Webster gave himself an assignment to write a novel from the point of view of a female protagonist and did an excellent job. I grew to admire his leading character as she herself grew to meet every challenge. Many of the twists and turns took me completely by surprise and that hasn't happened in a while. A really great read, after a slow start. In that period, a story didn't have to charge out of the gate and this one builds easily, slowly, until the pieces are all on the board. But it rewards your patience. Highly recommendedProduct details

The Real Adventure A Novel Henry Kitchell Webster 9781345694390 Books Reviews
The working title for Ayn Rand's "The Fountainhead" was "Second Hand Lives". "The Real Adventure" is good enough to have been referred to as "Second Hand Life" by HKW while he was writing it. The main character is a young woman who is intelligent, marries a good man whom she loves but is unhappy when he does not include her in his intellectual life. The plot is the story of how she strikes out on her own, makes something of herself and returns to her husband as an equal. The quality of the writing is wonderful. HKW is triumphant in showing why she is unsatisfied as an accessory to her husband and how she works hard to become more. There are glorious passages describing her working alone. HKW is no Ayn Rand but she named another of his novels, "Calumet K" as one of her favorites and very likely she would have enjoyed this one too.

The main character is a young woman who is intelligent, marries a good man whom she loves but is unhappy when he does not include her in his intellectual life. The plot is the story of how she strikes out on her own and makes something of herself independent of her husband. The quality of the writing is wonderful.

Book was shipped on time and was delivered in exactly the condition described. Much less expensive than other sellers.
Not the soporific I was looking for. Very thought provoking and I thoroughly enjoyed Kitchell's style of story writing. Keeps the story moving.
My favorite of all his books. I've read over two dozen of his novels and short story collections. It's written by a first wave feminist. When I read it the first time it was before Betty Friendan's "The Feminine Mystique" had been published and I didn't know how to describe his book to people. "The Feminine Mystique" is a second wave feminist book, the first to be noticed by a large public.
This novel is about a young woman working out how she wants to live her life...her choices about her career, her marriage, having and raising children.
It covers most issues that have been written about and discussed since "The Feminine Mystique" was published. It is also a good story on its own.
