The Soul of Countess Adrian
This novel revolves around a young American actress, Beatrice Brett, and an artist, Bernard Lendon. Set in London, Lendon first meets Beatrice Brett when they are on board a ship bound for Southampton. Their paths cross once more in London. Bernard continues to be captivated by Beatrice.
