    New York: The Viking Press, 1936. dj. Hardcover first edition - Her very highly praised - and very scarce - fourth novel. Set in the early to mid-19th century, this is a story of a woman born to the landed gentry, who, after being betrayed by her husband and losing both of her children to smallpox, flees to Paris, where she becomes involved with her husband's former mistress, a woman raised in czarist Russia. In 1848, Sophia finds herself caught in the revolutionary crossfire. The NY Times called this an "imaginative work which begins with no indication of how it will end, and becomes by turns a period comedy of manners, a stylized comedy of temperaments and at last the drama of a woman's conversion to a new order of life...It is a very difficult thing to begin a book on a light and mocking note, make it gradually grow deeper and more resonant, and charge it finally with passionate sound; but Miss Warner has done it with unmistakable success." and author Mary McCarthy called the "denouement where elegance burns into fervor, the most triumphal single moment in revolutionary fiction, so the whole elaborate, fine-spun novel seems the most skilful, the most surefooted, sensitive, witty piece of prose yet to have been colored by left-wing ideology." 421 pp.
