TRUE LOVE

A Comedy of the Affections

Here commonplace, everyday, ordinary people tread the boards. The
characters whom Miss Wyatt presents are not geniuses, or heroes, or
heroines of romance, but commonplace persons with commonplace tricks and
commonplace manners and emotions. They do romantic things without a
sense of romance in them, but weave their commonplace doings into a
story of great human interest that the reader will find far from
commonplace. The vein of humorous satire, keen, subtle and refined,
permeating the story and the characterization, sets this work of Miss
Wyatt's in a class by itself.

THE VOICE IN THE DESERT

This is a story of subtle attractions and repulsions between men and
women; of deep temperamental conflicts, accentuated and made dramatic by
the tense atmosphere of the Arizona desert. The action of the story
passes in a little Spanish mission town, where the hero, Lispenard, is
settled as an Episcopal clergyman, with his wife Adele and their two
children. The influence of the spirit of the desert is a leading factor
in the story. Upon Lispenard the desert exerts a strange fascination,
while upon his wife it has an opposite effect and antagonizes her. As
their natures develop under the spell of their environment, they drift
apart and the situation is complicated by the influence upon Lispenard
of a second woman who seems to typify the spirit of the desert itself.
The spiritual situation is delicately suggested and all is done with a
rare and true feeling for human nature.

THE SQUIREEN

Mr. Bullock takes us into the North of Ireland among North-of-Ireland
people. His story is dominated by one remarkable character, whose
progress towards the subjugation of his own temperament we cannot help
but watch with interest. He is swept from one thing to another, first by
his dare-devil, roistering spirit, then by his mood of deep repentance,
through love and marriage, through quarrels and separation from his
wife, to a reconciliation at the point of death, to a return to health,
and through the domination of the devil in him, finally to death. It is
a strong, convincing novel suggesting, somewhat, "The House with the
Green Shutters." W
