I picked this book up at random in a little used book store. I read the first page and was flabbergasted. The vivid imagery in that first tantalizing paragraph was astounding. I took it home immediately. Unfortunately nothing else in the book even came close to competing with those first wonderful words.The main character was a whiney drama queen that gives a bad name to women throughout history, even keeping in mind this book was published in 1924, which is pretty bad. In fact she remains my last reason for never wanting to pick up another book written by a woman (I've just never had any luck with them!)Needless to say I only lasted 84 pages before I just got too plain annoyed to continue on. The book is now employed as a dusty old paper weight.
