In Luck at Last

Description of book

Luck at Last follows the fate of a tiny secondhand bookstore and the man who lives behind it, elderly widow Claude Aglen who is trying to find his life's remaining happiness. Mr. Aglen's daughter Iris proceeds in life and contemplates taking a suitor. Excerpt: "Mr. Joseph Gallop was a young man somewhere between twenty and thirty, tall, large-limbed, well set-up, and broad-shouldered. A young man who, at first sight, would seem eminently fitted to push his own fortunes. Also, at first sight, a remarkably handsome fellow, with straight, clear-cut features and light, curly hair."
