Cecil Roberts

[from "Let's Talk aBout Books" column by Franziska in "The Australian Woman's Mirror", October 1, 1929] Pamela is a London typist who, having inherited £100, goes for a holiday to the Tyrol and put up at a guest-house which is conducted by the people of a young count who lost their fortune through the war. In idyllic surroundings, she and the young man fall in love; and, her money spent, she is taking the train that will lead back to London when he realises the full power of her charms. The owners of an opposition guest-house who try to boycott their ex-aristocratic competitors are used to eke out the story. The chief merit of the novel is the setting and the romantic flow of the love tale.
