Romance of His Life

English author Mary Cholmondeley won acclaim for her writing in numerous genres, from the tale of a detective who solves the mystery of an ingenious jewel heist in her first novel, The Danvers Jewels, to her later examination of friendship and adultery, Red Pottage. The stories collected in this volume run the gamut from romances to crime fiction to a humorous satirical take on the issue of women's suffrage.
