Hardcover. Zustand: Fair. 1st Edition. First edition. Hardback, bound in blue cloth with printed titling to spine and upper board. 19 × 12cm, 343pp + 12pp ads. This is Duckworth's file copy, and has been signed by Mrs Stanley Wrench to the front pastedown from The Orchard in 1917. Additionally, there is a handwritten piece from the novel on a loose slip of paper. A novel from Mrs Stanley Wrench which a contemporary review describes thus, "The tale is set out with every circumstance of sordid misery, in which the spiritual beauty of the heroine is meant to shine, and undeniably does shine with real strength and purity. The successive deaths of the mother and step-mother, the shabby London lodgings, the fall of Veronica, the selfishness of Beat's boyfriend, and the loathsome trade of her lover - these, and more horrors and lapses beside, are all taxed for the general effect in so able and vivid a fashion that the authoress succeeds to admiration in making her readers nearly as uncomfortable as her characters, long before the climax is reached." Mrs Stanley Wrench (Mollie, otherwise Violet Louisa Stanley-Wrench, 1880-1966) was an author, journalist and cookery writer, and mother of poet and author Margaret Stanley-Wrench. Condition: Fair condition. The pages are heavily tanned (a bit more than the pictures suggest), and with foxing to the prelims.
