Summary
Letty Fox—Her Luck, Christina Stead’s sixth novel, was first published in New York in 1946. Set in wartime Manhattan and told in Letty’s own spiky and exuberant voice, the novel follows her successes and failures in the game of ‘being somebody’. Letty’s tireless pursuit of love and sex provides the setting for Stead’s brilliant satire of marriage, desire, and the conventions that surround them.
