Unless the Wind Turns book review and Voyager notice
Mildred Walker's Unless the Wind Turns is described as blunt with a plot built around a troubled marriage and a dangerous Montana forest fire. The review notes brisk pace and places it among her fifth novels including The Brewers' Big Horses and Doctor Norton's Wife. Olive Higgins Prouty's Now Voyager is praised for appealing to readers of women’s magazines and follows a Back Bay Boston family with a dramatic journey for Charlotte as she seeks independence.
