Description

Joanna Bannerman, capricious, selfish and warm-hearted, passionately seeks life and 'loveliness'.

Certainly the bustling streets of Glasgow at the turn of the century promise much greater excitement than the solid evangelical background she has known hitherto.

Her studies in the School of Art open up new horizons - of independence and love - and Joanna reaches for them all. First published in 1920, this novel powerfully evokes the image of a young woman ensnared yet ultimately released by her capacity for emotion.

It contains a strong autobiographical element and is also a powerful evocation of the life and industry of the Second City of the Empire.
