Ooooh, oh, Robin! It's one of Burnett's novels for grown-ups, and actually it's the second in a duology, though it can be read on its own since the first bit summarizes a lot of the previous book.
Oh, cool! I didn't even know she wrote novels for adults. (I didn't know Gene Stratton-Porter was female, either. I did know that Inez Haynes Irwin wrote a major feminist genre novel—Angel Island (1914)—but I knew that because of Ursula K. Le Guin.) I will see if I can borrow it from my mother when she's done.
Those two are among my favorites of her work; she wrote quite a few books that no one has heard of any more. Among other things, they're a fascinating look at England just prior to, and during, the Great War. Be warned, they're very anti-German.
So noted. I am still always interested by war literature of the time.
