Rhodes, Harrison. Flight to Eden: a Florida romance. †$1.50. Holt.
7–30836.
Basil Forrester, London born and bred, finds that there is no place for him in England after his infidelity to his wife results in her suicide. He goes to Florida, begins life over, fostering only the impulses of primitive man. His love for a maiden of the wild impels him to relinquish every hold upon England. After years have passed he remembers that the house of Kingstowne must be perpetuated through him and sends his ten year old son back to be educated to the traditions of his title.
“There is no question that Mr. Rhodes knows how to portray people and incidents in a way that forces you to see them. But he has something still to learn about the unities of construction.” Frederic Taber Cooper.
