The
Duchess of
Dreams
A tale of social ambition, of startling adventure and of passionate love, placed against the background of the dazzling world of diplomacy.
Miss Macvane has written a story which is both pleasing and interesting, in fact, she has most successfully entered the domain where Anthony Hope and Henry Harland found such entertaining inspiration for the treatment of a highly romantic situation.
The portrayal of the characters is convincing; and the pictures of brilliant diplomatic functions are particularly vivid and realistic.
