Publication details: John Lane The Bodley Head,1922,
Rare Book
The author's debut; she later wrote as 'Murray Constantine', including the novels 'Swastika Night' and 'Proud Man'. The present work is in a realist mode and, as betokened by the note regarding its composition at the close ('Sydney, May-June 1921'), written in a somewhat restless style, perhaps reflecting the protagonist's own itinerant nature. Burdekin, ne Cade, had moved to Australia with her husband - the Olympic rower, Beaufort Burdekin - but their marriage ended in the year of this book's publication, and she returned to her native Cornwall.
