The Knave of Diamonds
There came a sudden blare of music from the great ballroom below, and the woman who stood alone at an open window on the first floor shrugged her shoulders and shivered a little. The night air blew in brisk and cold upon her uncovered neck, but except for that slight, involuntary shiver she scarcely seemed aware of it.

Review by Zou Zou for The Knave of Diamonds
Rating:
Romance from the early Twentieth century.
An entertaining romance from a prolific author.
American Nap Errol is in love with reserved Englishwoman, Lady Anne. Lady Anne is unhappily married to an unpleasant, wealthy drunken brute, who is twice her age. Nap, in his own and most other’s opinion, is a womanizing knave and a bounder.
Lady Anne, miserable in her situation, is honor bound to her husband and her marriage vows. Nap is soon equally miserable, as Anne refuses to enter into an adulterous liason.
This pleasant read has all the necessary melodrama ingredients: delirium tremens, beatings, abduction, attempted forced seductions and finally redemption and happiness for Nap and Anne.
This novel stands up well to the test of time.
