MacGowan, Alice, and Cooke, Grace MacGowan. Return: a story of the sea islands in 1739. [†]$1.50. Page.
In a stirring romance the authors reproduce people and scenes of colonial South Carolina and Georgia. In it Diana Chaters, the belle of Charleston, and a young Virginian of the historic family of Marshall figure prominently. This heroine, “the heartless coquette, is publicly jilted as the result of a brutal wager. How she takes her shame, and how she builds it into her life, is told by the authors with skill and upon somewhat new lines.” (Outlook.)
“‘Return’ is a capital love-story, one of the very best romantic novels of the year.”
