Book Description Soft cover. Condition: Near Fine. A remarkable and stunning cover painting by Brockhurst, one of the most neglected masters of 20th Century art. Which might sound irrelevant to the contents of the book, but it really is striking and it adds to the pleasure of the writing. The author received high praise for this novel, which was sexy and uninhibited for any book published in the 30s. The author never recovered after her husband died in a boating accident and she killed herself. Given the elegant prose style of this outstanding book, that is our loss. A fine writer from the first half of the 20th Century. First edition thus, with one tiny flaw, if it is a flaw; a former owner's blind stamp, which is hardly visible. This clean tight large-format softback book is part of the Virago series of neglected women writers. There is an exclusive introduction by Polly Devlin. Seller Inventory # ABE-1553344800141
