First edition

Boston, Toronto: An Atlantic Monthly Press Book Little, Brown and Company, 1962 . Octavo, cloth. First edition. Porter's best known work. The voyage of the Vera is a pilgrims' progress without a happy ending, indeed with no ending at all ... Though, as with life itself, its ends are not neatly tied up, her novel is satisfying in its richness, its intelligence, its depth of comic and tragic sensibility. - Clifton Fadiman.
