The Constant Nymph

Beschreibung

Originally published in 1924, The Constant Nymph tells the story of how a teenage girl falls in love with a family friend, who eventually marries her cousin. The two girls show mutual jealousy over their common love for the man. The novel was a bestseller after it was first published, becoming the first novel of a genre that might be called "Bohemian". A significant part of its success was due to its (for the time) shocking sexual content, describing, as it does, scenes of adolescent sexuality and noble savagery in the Austrian Tyrol.
