The Man Who Loved Children

0/5 ( ratings)

"The Man Who Loved Children is one of the most truthful and terrifying horror stories ever written about family life." -- Time

Henrietta, privileged and sheltered, expected a smoothly comfortable society life in Washington when she married Sam Pollittt, a handsome, self-made biologist. Ten years later, Henny is a skinny, screaming drudge with five children, a raging wreck of a woman driven by 'hate, horror, passion or contempt.' But Sam, whose impractical idealism has brought his family to near-ruin, is unchanged: still at sea in all adult affairs, an absurd hypocritical buffoon but a genius with children, except Louie, his eldest daughter, an ugly, brilliant adolescent who is forced to take a drastic final step to save herself and children from lasting tragedy.

Language: English

Format: MP3 CD

Release: January 01, 1940
