First Edition stated. Interesting novel of a woman who seemed too progressive for owning and running a bookstore after she became married. Years later she is ridiculed for being old-fashioned. "Talk became an immediate best seller. Several reviewers compared Emanie’s book to Main Street by Sinclair Lewis. In praising her understanding of small towns, a New York paper observed that Emanie Sachs 'knows more about a small town livery stable than any other woman writer.' Another northern paper praised Emanie’s unique approach to southern life: 'Without a Doric pillared mansion, without a mint julep, without a colonel, Mrs. Sachs has achieved the unique success of writing about the American South without bursting into tears every time she mentions the latitude.' A Denver reviewer called Emanie’s book the best first novel he’d read in many years and another reviewer labeled the volume not only a 'remarkable first novel but it would be a remarkable second or third novel.'
