The Claudia novels of Rose Franken have achieved a world-wide succes that is unique in the history of publishing. Up to date, the sales of these delightful romances have reached the stupendous total of nine millions. The books have been made into plays and films, they have been broadcast in Britain and America, and they have been translated into sixteen languages. The instant and overhelming succes of the Claudia novels is understandable. Here is an honest and penetrating investigation of a woman's soul and the drama of a basic human relationship. Claudia is every woman and her marriage the epitome of all marriage. If the saga carries a message it is a simple and fundamental one deriving from Rose Franken's own passionate belief that marriage is woman's finest career and that those who devote themselves to it as an art are the homemakers of the world.
