NEW MACMILLAN FICTION
The Wife of Sir Isaac Harman
By H. G. WELLS.
_Cloth, 12mo. $1.50 net._
The name of H. G. Wells upon a title page is an assurance of merit. It is
a guarantee that on the pages which follow will be found an absorbing
story told with master skill. In the present book Mr. Wells surpasses even
his previous efforts. He is writing of modern society life, particularly
of one very charming young woman, Lady Harman, who finds herself so bound
in by conventions, so hampered by restrictions, largely those of a well
intentioned but short sighted husband, that she is ultimately moved to
revolt. The real meaning of this revolt, its effect upon her life and
those of her associates are narrated by one who goes beneath the surface
in his analysis of human motives. In the group of characters, writers,
suffragists, labor organizers, social workers and society lights
surrounding Lady Harman, and in the dramatic incidents which compose the
years of her existence which are described by Mr. Wells, there is a novel
which is significant in its interpretation of the trend of affairs today,
and fascinatingly interesting as fiction. It is Mr. Wells at his best.
