Hardcover. Zustand: Near Fine. Very Good+ dj. First Edition. [solid clean copy with just minor shelfwear; jacket a little edgeworn, one small closed tear at bottom of front panel, minor paper loss at top spine corners, wrinkling and small stress lines at top of spine, one tiny chip at top of rear panel] Novel of an aspiring opera singer who falls in love and elopes with the son of a noble Spanish family, heedless of "the danger of incurring the hatred of his mother, the all-powerful Doña Juanita -- a hatred that was to pursue her in her dazzling career as an opera singer, and to play such havoc with her personal life." I've seen it stated that the author, who was English but lived in the U.S. from 1911, may have done a bit of screenwriting under another name; she was slightly showbiz-adjacent (her husband was a minor stage actor named Dennis Cleugh, who died at age 47 in 1928), so it's not a completely outlandish idea -- just unconfirmed, at least by me.

Hardcover. Zustand: Very Good. Very Good dj. First Edition. [solid book, light foxing/soiling to page edges, one-time owner's signature on ffep, library donation label on front pastedown (no other library markings; specific library not identified); jacket shows light wear at extremities, some light soiling/foxing to front panel]. Story of "the captivating daughter of a highborn roué and a maid-in-waiting to the Queen of France. Buffeted by fortune, she led a life of extremes -- from poverty to wealth, high life to low life, joy to despair. Swept into the seething torrent of the French Revolution, she was cast into prison and in the shadow of the guillotine at last found love." The author (1876-1958), who was married to the English actor Dennis Cleugh, was the author of sixteen novels, some of which were published under the pseudonym George Oleson. She lived for a time in the U.S., where according to one source she "worked as a screenwriter for Universal Pictures"; I've found no recorded screen credits to back up this claim, although it's conceivable that she may have done that sort of work under another name as well.…
