Moonlady. New York: G. P. Putnam's Sons, 1927.
First Edition. Novel of a lovely Chinese girl brought into emotional conflict with a man and woman of the western world. "Helen Langdon, the daughter of a British official, falls in love with Barrie Weston, a young American journalist. Barrie, however, simultaneously becomes infatuated with a Chinese girl actress, whom he saves from death after a riot of patriotic students. The conflict between Helen and her Chinese rival, with her subtle, pure, and finally self-denying devotion, forms the main thread of interest. But, skillfully dovetailed into the plot, there are excellent pictures of Chinese life ; while the differences in Western and Eastern psychology are well suggested." Near Fine in Very Good dustjacket.
