Présentation de l'éditeur
An excerpt from Book Review Digest, Volume 10, 1915:
May Sinclair's story is a study in abnormal psychology—or a psychological study of the effects of abnormal conditions.
The scene is laid in the north of England where James Cartaret has brought his family after certain innocent indiscretions on the part of his youngest daughter Alice have led him to abandon his parish in the south.
The three girls live immured in the vicarage, cut off from friendship and youth, spending weary evenings in the society of one another, waiting for the one event of their day—family prayers. The life affects them differently. Mary takes to good works; Gwenda roams the moors alone at night; Alice pines and fades. Yet the mind of each is engaged all the time with one figure, Steven Rowcliffe, the young doctor. Mary thinks: "He will see that I am sweet and womanly"; Gwenda: “He will wonder who that strange girl is who is unafraid"; Alice: "I will make myself ill and he will come to see me." The outcome of this situation and the ultimate reaction of each as a result of it, is the substance of the story. May Sinclair employs her uncanny power of getting inside a man's mind, too, in the case of James Cartaret, the vicar.
It is because it gives so forthright and imaginative a conspectus of feminine character that its occasional indirections are bewildering.
Présentation de l'éditeur
It is the last village up Garthdale; a handful of gray houses old and small and humble. The high road casts them off and they turn their backs to it in their fear and huddle together humbly down by the beck. Their stone roofs and walls are naked and blackened by wind and rain as if fire had passed over them.

hardcover. Etat : Good. Our good condition books are generally good for reading but not for gifting or collecting. They could have imperfections such as creasing, fanning, inscriptions, margin notes, yellowing, staining on edge or cover or pages, bumps, scuffs, etc etc (sometimes multiple of these). It's a wide category that encompasses anything that isn't almost-new down to anything that is slightly better than poor. We would NOT recommend gifting Good books - these should be considered reading copies. Our books are dispatched from a Yorkshire former cotton mill. We list via barcode/ISBN so please note that the images are stock images and may not be the exact copy you receive, furthermore the details about edition and year might not be accurate as many publishers reuse the same ISBN for multiple editions and as we simply scan a barcode or enter an ISBN we do not check the validity of the edition data when listing. If you're looking for an exact edition please don't order (at least not without checking with us first, although we don't always have time to check). We aim to dispatch prompty, the service used will depend on order value and book size. We can ship to most countries, see our shipping policies. Payment is via Abe only.
