First published in 1964, Seymour Epstein's LEAH received immediate acclaim. Montemayor Press is proud to reissue this classic novel in a new edition. Leah is a significant achievement in many ways: as a portrait of a thoughtful woman searching for love; as a vivid description of mid-Twentieth Century Manhattan; as an understated masterpiece of urban fiction; and as a male author's remarkable exploration of a female character's psyche-an exploration as successful in its own way as Flaubert's of Emma Bovary and as Tolstoy's of Anna Karenina.
