Overview

“It may be said at once that this is the best novel Mr. Sinclair has yet written—so much the best that it stands in a class by itself”—The New York Times, lauding this 1913 work about “a much-discussed theme.” Sylvia, a flirtatious socialite, is forced into marriage, only to discover the perils of sexually transmitted disease.
