NEW SIX-SHILLING NOVELS
THE NEW LADY BERINGTON
By Lady Angela Forbes
Author of “The Broken Commandment” and “Penelope’s Progress.”
A story of love and intrigue. The plot concerns the struggle of Judith—the new Lady Berington—with an influence which comes between her and her husband, a rising member of the Government, and the action takes place at various country houses and in London.
Judith—fascinating, impulsive, unconventional—gets the reader’s sympathy at once, while the other characters, including the Prime Minister and the famous political hostess, Lady Mildred Stern (an old flame of Sir Philip Berington’s and Judith’s bitter enemy) are crisply and vividly drawn.
The smart, sparkling dialogue, the easy epigrams, the by-play of conflicting ambitions, and the deftly managed situations add materially to the enjoyment of a book, which should greatly increase Lady Angela Forbes’ rapidly growing popularity.
