About This Book

The narrative alternates tense episodes of peril with quieter domestic scenes centered on a surgeon who has withdrawn to the countryside. A trapped young woman fears that daylight will bring death as she recalls an uncanny encounter in the Temple, while the surgeon moves between emergency operations and attentive visits to patients at country houses. Interpersonal routines, recoveries, and local rhythms coexist with hints of past ambitions and moral restraint, and characters face choices about duty, safety, and belonging. The work is organized into a prologue and three books that shift between suspenseful incidents and intimate character-focused episodes.

KATHLYN RHODES
is the assured success of 1918,
as GERTRUDE PAGE was the success of 1916
and MABEL BARNES-GRUNDY of 1917.

Fired with enthusiasm to win fame as a novelist, Kathlyn Rhodes began her career before her school days were ended. "Sweet Life" followed shortly afterwards; and the appreciation which this won encouraged the authoress to follow quickly with other stories. Choice of subject she holds to be of primary importance. With the war depressing us all around, she believes that many readers prefer stories that permit them for the time to forget it; and this she achieves by her delightful flights of fancy through the realms of many lands.

These are the stories to send to your soldier friends to combat the horrors of warfare and the tedium of the hospitals; and the stories to read yourself to relieve the weary vigils we must keep at home.
