Description

New York: A.L. Burt Company. Very Good+ in Good dj. (c.1923). Reprint. Hardcover. [solid, clean copy, slight bumping to a couple of corners; jacket edgeworn and a little soiled, with various nicks and tiny tears, one small hole torn in middle of spine]. "A dramatic story of the 'Great Moment' in the life of every woman -- and how it came to Nadine Pelham, in whose strangely dual nature gypsy and English blood fought for supremacy. Her conflicting interests and her love for Bayard Delaval, mining engineer and typical American, make a passionate yet tender romance, throbbing with gypsy recklessness." I'm sure Ms. Glyn knew about as much about "typical Americans" as she did about, well, writing. Here's a sample, chosen at random: "This thought brought return of joy -- he would fulfil those conditions, for indeed he loved her beyond all the world! Oh, the burning memory of her caresses! There could be no question about her affection! No woman in his life had shown so much voluptuous passion for him. But this thought made his pulses bound again!" (Because really, there's almost no sentence in the English language that can't be improved by adding an exclamation point! Or two!!) .
