These are airy, cynical, polished inquiries into the actions and reactions of women’s loves, tickling the reader’s sense of humour and sense of style from the moment he picks up the book, to find “The Romantic Lady” glancing down at Noel Anson from her box, to the last page, where the revolver smoke is veiling from her the husband of Iris Poole.
What the Press says

“Pure coquetry, of course, but what perfect technique.”—Evening Standard.
“Has all the ironic flippancy of a Schnitzler.”—Sunday Times.
