CASA BRANCA HOTEL Guest house Reviews (Porto Amboim, Angola) For Esm with Love and Squalor. In honour of the centennial of J. D. Salinger, Penguin reissues all four of his books in beautiful commemorative hardback. An American soldier has a strange encounter with an orphaned English teenager the night before he leaves for war. A four year old boy runs away in a dinghy; a missionary's child is kidnapped by Chinese bandits. A honeymoon in Florida goes awry with tragic consequences. Including the first stories to feature Salinger's beloved Glass family characters, this brilliantly varied collection offers a vivid introduction to the work of one of the most admired and widely read American novelists of the twentieth century. Witty, urbane and frequently affecting, For Esm with Love and Squalor sits alongside Salinger's very best work a gem that will be passed down for many generations to come.
