The magic of real, old-fashioned storytelling enchantment. The spell of London in the glowing era just before World War I, when life was beautiful in a way it would never be again. The passionate, poignant love story of a proper young man from the upper classes and a shopkeeper's proud and beautiful daughter.
This may be the kind of novel nobody writes any more. But Ernest Raymond has. And readers on both sides of the Atlantic are grateful.
