Overview: Published in 1936 by C. Scribner’s Sons Ltd., New York, London. The story of a foster child whose life is built on a tissue of lies which trip her up at every fresh start. Her early life is spent with an ex-dancer who is paid by the mother who wishes her identity concealed — a Zeppelin bomb, on a London street, puts an end to that. Next — a period of comparative happiness in an orphan asylum of glorified sorts. Then — adoption, by a gentleman whose perverted tastes run to little girls — and escape. Rediscovery, by a friend of the foster-mother, and virtual adoption by the man who was supposedly the real mother’s husband. Again, hints of perversion and escape. A strange love affair — desertion — an abortion — and a steady downhill skid, winding up with a murder trial for the death of the supposed father, who had attacked her.
