Original pulp fiction

Faith Baldwin's 1931 classic pulp romance Skyscraper is as pulp as it comes. If you like your prose purple and your entendres doubled, this is the book for you. Plucky young Lynn Harding has come to Manhattan to conquer the world; working as a sales researcher for Seacoast Bank, she catches the eye of up-and-comer Tom Shepherd. Sadly, the young lovers can't be married, or else Lynn will lose the job that she loves so much. While she and Tom wrestle with the question of whether or not they have a future together, dashing older man David Dwight has designs on the lovely Lynn. Will she fall into his louche clutches? Will she and Tom be forced to separate forever? Will Lynn get to keep her job at the bank? While the plot is laughably dated, Baldwin's writing holds up as well as any modern romance--the Feminist Press has chosen well for its Femmes Fatales line.
