Hardcover in dark slate blue cloth lettered and decorated in white. 296 pp. Frontisiece photographic portrait of the author in her Red Cross nursing uniform. Very good, some rubbing to the tips and edges of the spine. Based on a true story, a romance novel set in South Africa during the Boer War. Irene Jewell, a Philadelphian and wife of a Johannesburg banker businessman, was a nurse in during the Boer War, serving in a hospital immediately after the battle at Krugersdorp. There she encountered a gravely ill British soldier, took and interest in him and nursed him back to heath; the younf soldier told her his own story of broken hearted romance and loss of a sweetheart back home. His story became the basis of this novel. Very diificult to find in the orignal edition.
