SAVIGNON, Andre. The Sorrows Of Elsie. New York. Payson and Clarke. (1927).

First American Edition. E. F. dustjacket art. Novel by winner of the Prix Goncourt about a "sex-tortured girl", set in the provincial English town of Plymouth. A novel somewhat exotic in nature, where in one night Elsie's "long virtue, so jealously preserved, was immolated without regret, in the fever of a moment, in one evening's folly". Savignon attempts to analyze the emotional lives of Jazz Age women. Wonderful dustjacket art. Near Fine in Very Good plus dustjacket.
