A Fearful Joy

Joyce Cary

Seduced when young, Tabitha leads a terrible existence until she is taken up by Sturge, a wealthy patron of art, and becomes a famous hostess of the 'Yellow Book' period. Her second marriage to Sir James Gollan, an old industrialist, who instead of retiring becomes an important national figure in the WWI, completely changes her life once again.
