ABOUT BOOK

Can a man marry a woman twenty years his senior--and be happy and remain true to the wife of his choice? This--and the Biblical quotation from the Song of Solomon: "Love is strong as death, jealousy is cruel as the grave; the coals thereof are coals of fire which hath a most vehement flame"--is the basis of Mrs. Deland's latest novel. This book by its sheer bigness of theme, will rank above even The Iron Woman and The Awakening of Helena Ritchie.
