BY MARCELLE TINAYRE. 



THE SHADOW OF LOVE. Crown Svo. 6/- 



Translated from the French by A. R. Allinso.n, M.A. 

 *^f* Of the newer French novelists Marcelle Tinayre is perhaps the best 

 known. Her work has been crowned by the French Academy and she possesses 

 a very large public in Europe and in America. The story deals with a girl's love 

 and a heroic sacrifice dictated by love. "The Shadow of Love" is a book of 

 extraordinary power, uncompromising in its delineation of certain hard, some 

 might say repulsive facts of liie, yet instinct all through with an exquisitely 

 tender and beautiful passion of human interest and human sympathy.
