Description
Robert W. Chambers' great novel, the strongest, most absorbing tale he has told. To become the most popular writer in America, to count his readers by the millions, Robert W. Chambers had to put into his stories a compelling interest that no other writer could achieve. Yet all of the stories which had brought him fame and placed him at the head of American writers of the day, none equal in dramatic incident and absorbing human interest his greatest production. Each chapter of the romantic story grips the attention from the start and holds it to the end. It vividly pictures the Bohemian life of artists and contrasts it with that so-different world of gaiety, New York society. The story centers in the great love of a young artist and his model, and the problem their love forced them to face was complicated by the social position of the one and the other's lack of it. "The Common Law" is a story of compelling interest, dealing with a big, vital theme. It lays bare one of the greatest problems of our complex modern civilization. Its characters are real, flesh-and-blood men and women and the plot is the most thrilling of all Mr. Chambers' thrilling fiction. You certainly cannot afford to miss this brilliant novel.
