WHICH?

OR,

BETWEEN TWO WOMEN.

BY ERNEST DAUDET.

TRANSLATED FROM THE FRENCH
BY LAURA E. KENDALL.

* * * * *

"WHICH? OR, BETWEEN TWO WOMEN," is the latest and most powerful
novel from the pen of the celebrated French novelist, Ernest
Daudet. It is fully worthy of its famous author's great reputation,
for a more absorbing and thrilling romance has seldom been
published. The interest begins at once with the flight of the gypsy
mother with her child and her death in the Chateau de Chamondrin,
where the friendless little one is received and cared for. The plot
is simple and without mystery, but never, perhaps, were so many
stirring incidents crowded within the covers of a novel. The scene
is laid in Paris and the country, and some of the most striking
events of the times are vividly reproduced. The reader is given a
very realistic glimpse of Paris, and part of the action takes place
in that historic prison, the Conciergerie, where nobles and others
accused of crimes against the French Republic were confined.
History and fiction are adroitly mingled in the excellent novel,
which may be termed a double love story in that two women are
passionately attached to one man. On the thrilling adventures and
heart experiences of this trio the romance turns, and the reader's
attention is kept constantly riveted to the exciting narrative. The
other characters are all naturally drawn, and the book as a whole
is one of the best and most absorbing novels that can be found. It
will delight everybody.
