Non-Fiction Memoir
Silver Pages on the Lawn is the true story of student
lovers during the depression days of the 1930s. Their
star-crossed romance endured parental disapproval as well as
the want of time, money and privacy. To bridge long
separations they had to make love by mail. Their passionate
letters, poignant and poetic, form the heart of their
history. The memoir also paints a dramatic picture of the
difficult years they lived through - the lack of jobs, the
hopeless future, the dark clouds of dictatorship over Europe
- and of the steadfast love that survived it all and carried
them through to the life they dreamed of. Nora Lourie
Percival was a student at Barnard College in Columbia
University in New York City when she met her first love,
Herman Gund. A journalism student at Columbia, he endured
many struggles before he became a newspaperman.
