First published in 1935. I have a copy.<br />It was made into a film with Joan Greenwood as Sophia-Dorothea, Stewart Granger as Count Philip and Flora Robson playing the part of Countess Platen brilliantly. She is hateful!<br />Unfortunately the only Ealing print I have seen and taped has deteriorated badly with age in both picture and sound. I often wonder if there is a better copy in their archives.Lauriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15028024278770482952noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168485041669110812.post-21372170922922421602009-05-02T09:30:00.000-07:002009-05-02T09:30:00.000-07:00Arleigh:) She certainly was- I don't know how the ...Arleigh:) She certainly was- I don't know how the poor thing managed...<br /><br />Hi Marie:) So much happens in this one...Lucy https://www.blogger.com/profile/13600064401395449845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168485041669110812.post-62907517452458831672009-05-02T08:57:00.000-07:002009-05-02T08:57:00.000-07:00sounds like this book is something to look forward...sounds like this book is something to look forward to.. ;)BurtonReview https://www.blogger.com/profile/15113347274782450564noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5168485041669110812.post-14138406572174599052009-05-01T12:11:00.000-07:002009-05-01T12:11:00.000-07:00She was an evil woman in this novel!
