So Little Time vintage book by John Marquand about a man's life 20 months before Pearl Harbor Basis for 1941 movie Hedy Lamarr Robert Young.

Profound story, beginning in the months just before the United States entered World War Two, then cutting back and forth in time and across the country, following the thoughts and memories of Jeffrey Wilson, once a lad from a small New England town, a flyer in the first world war, a newspaper man, and a writer who fixes plays and movie scripts in trouble. Generations of men and women and children crowd through his memories as he struggles to find the right path at each stage of his life. At times satirical, often very moving, "So Little Time" carries the reader relentlessly forward to inevitability of the world conflict that takes away Jeff's twenty-two year old son. Jeff never did quite what he wanted to do or what he was capable of doing, but he always was generous with himself, doing his best to do right by the others who came and went, and sometimes stayed, in his life.
