Publisher's Synopsis
This novel, by Mrs. Frankau, is by all odds the most dramatic and intense story which she has yet written. It has no less depth and feeling than "Pigs in Clover" -- now in its sixth edition -- and as a story of passion and consequences, should go to the very hearts of things. It deals with a young French woman -- a wife -- who is left at a continental watering place by her husband, and while there is brought by the gambling table to a critical pass. It is at this stage that the complications occur which exhibit Mrs. Frankau's profound knowledge of life, as does probably no other chapter she has yet written.--"Colorado School Journal," Vol. 19
