Other Books by Anne Douglas Sedgwick

TANTE

A masterpiece of character creation and delineation, the fascinating story of a woman of genius, whose genius is matched only by her wayward temperament.

FRANKLIN WINSLOW KANE

The story, exquisitely told, of two men and two women, and of the unraveling of their strangely tangled love-affairs.

AMABEL CHANNICE

"For poignancy of emotional effect few love romances equal this drama, wherein the love of mother and son is raised to its height of heroic possibility."
