Portrait of a Man with Red Hair
by Hugh Walpole
This is Hugh Walpole's most enterprising, fascinating novel. On the way to the town of Treliss on the Cornish coast, your American Puritan massacre and your ideal, Harkness, was there to find the adventures of his life, his love, and the pain he never imagined. Here, Walpole's skill turns into a story of courage, a new expansion of his genius. The power of Fortitude, the bold features of the Cathedral, the miserable quality of the Old Ladies, were combined here with a rather impressive section and worked in an atmosphere of sharp tension.
