Revolving Stage.

Publication Details: Chapman & Hall, 1936

Notes: Scarce, the author's first and only novel; she also collaborated on plays with Beatrice Gilbert, and the relevance of a theatrical setting is extended by the blurb beyond the title of the work through a structural comparison to Noël Coward's 'Cavalcade'. The narrative centres on 'the experiences and interactions' of English students in Munich, with the pivotal location of the 'Pension of Fraulien Riemer, a decayed gentlewoman' (dustjacket blurb).
