No Love Lost is Helen Van Slyke at her best. A story spanning three generations of extraordianary and very different wives.
America was struggling through the Depression when Pauline Thresher, the beautiful wife of a powerful banker, left her husband of twenty-five years because she could no longer bear his flagrant infedelity.Sara Thresher, her wise and compassionate mother, understood too well That wealth and position could not compensate for marriage to a cold, domineering man. She chose to go with Pauline, even though it meant a cruel and perhaps irrevokable estrangement from her own son. But Lindsay, Pauline's daughter, stood on the threshold of a different world- a world which would demand all her resilence and determination if she was to survive as her own woman.
