Items related to To Elinor: A Romance in Two Voices
Darrow fell in love with Elinor at first sight. But she was already engaged. To two men. He joined the Merchant Marine to train as a radio operator. His letters from Gallups Island and then the war charmed her, but Elinor had changed. Women entered the working world-as boatbuilders and micrometer testers and even riveters and movie stars-and she wanted to become Something Big. Marriage wasn't for her. Darrow's letters kept coming . . . the same letters my sister and I discovered in a large photo box after our parents' deaths. Their romance was interrupted by the war and by the fledgling dreams of a woman, a Bishop's daughter, who wanted to do something more than carry on the traditional roles women had in the forties. The tale of this romance is in both voices-Elinor's from the homefront and Darrow's from the war.

Book Description Taschenbuch. Condition: Neu. nach der Bestellung gedruckt Neuware - Printed after ordering - It is the winter of 1941 in Fargo, North Dakota, when twenty-five-year-old Elinor kisses dreamy Darrow for the first time and believes she has just met her match. But there is one problem: she is already engaged to not one, but two, other men. Elinor, unlike most of the women during the 1940s, believes there is more to accomplish in life than marriage and a family. As the world quickly changes, Darrow heads off to war while Elinor continues to string men along in order to avoid the dreaded title of 'old maid.' As Darrow's letters arrive from all over the world, Elinor struggles with letting go of the security of her suitors to pursue her dream of becoming Something Big. Now one question remains: will she follow her heart or her dream of finding independence and freedom Based on WWII letters, To Elinor is the poignant tale of how two people met and fell in love, despite all the challenges that accompanied living in and defending America in the 1940s.
