Chatterton's really an unfortunately forgotten novelist -- and for that matter, hardly given her due in her master craft of acting these days, as her Paramount pre-Codes are difficult to come by -- so I'd be interested to know it if anyone ever adds this book to their library. It's quite good, a tightly controlled, absorbing and nobly intentioned thing. Worth rediscovering and begging for the Persephone treatment! Fans of Chatterton the actor must give this a look. It offers a fascinating view into the mind of a person one "knows" from the screen! ( )
