    “Book Descriptions: "She was poised and keen, a hawk in mid-air, a speck of perfect bliss upheld in perfection of readiness for the predatory swoop"

    Joanna Bannerman, capricious, selfish and warm-hearted, passionately seeks life and "loveliness." And the bustling streets of Glasgow in the late 1800s seem to promise much more for her than the solidity of the Evangelical background she's known. Her studies at the School of Art open up new horizons -- of independence and of love -- and Joanna reaches for them all. First published in 1920, this roman a clef is the story of her awakening: an enlightened novel, it powerfully evokes the image of a young woman ensnared by, and yet ultimately released through, her own capacity for emotion.”
