Novel 195: Eleanor Frances Poynter, An Exquisite Fool (1892)

August 10, 2021 David Bywaters

John Lavery, Hazel in Black and Gold 


A woman’s former husband reappears unexpectedly.


For Eleanor Frances Poynter see novel 145.  This, apparently the last of her works, has little plot, but much careful character analysis.

“The story is perhaps the misfortune of the book, but the characters, situations, and conversations are handled with surehandedness and strength.” Bookman, December 1892

“Very interesting, on the whole, and extremely well written.” Critic, January 14, 1893
