when edith fell in love with William Boyce she knew that life for her would be a path beset by thorn ; for William was married - unhappily , yes, but married . But Edith loved him and gave up name and her reputation to make him happy. Even when she could marry William , the old stigma remained , for in a country village , scandal dies hard...........The book is in good condition , and the pages are clean.Very light browning to inner boards. The jacket has some wear to the edges , the corners are torn 1/4in , and the base and top of the spine are chipped. The cover shows an almost ghostly figure walking in a garden by night, white on black and green.

Love
