| Item Description: | A novel of friendship and love shadowed by suspicion...: "All the skill of Robert Hichens, master story-teller whose novels, 'The Garden of Allah' and 'The Paradine Case', were the sensational best-sellers of their day, is evident in this new novel, set against the backgrounds of the gay and colorful Rivera and cosmopolitan Zurich. Here is a brilliant psychological study of the hidden recesses of men's minds and a romantic story which has breathless suspense as only Hichens can create it." The Cushing Library/Women & Gender Studies copy was acquired as part of The Don Kelly Research Collection of Gay Literature and Culture. |
