“A flamboyant story of decadence in the old South — Savannah. The girl Zelda, was born in the gas-house district, of whores and drunks, but has herself an innate refinement that strives upward. She has her dreams — but a night of love and passion blasts her hopes, and she bears her child. The doors of hope reopen — again Fate intervenes, and she turns her back, marries for security and raises the child. The story is the story of her revenge on the city — and on the house of her dreams.”–Kirkus reviews.
