That Which Hath Wings: A Novel of the Day

First published in 1918, 'That Which Hath Wings: A Novel of the Day' captures a world in turmoil, where war casts long shadows over society drawing rooms, hospitals, and homes alike. Richard Dehan, the pen name of Irish-born writer Clotilde Graves, weaves a rich tapestry of the war years, blending sharp social observation with clinical precision gleaned from her own medical training. Here are rumors that spread like wildfire, loyalties tested by suspicion, and lives caught between private grief and public duty. This edition returns the COMPLETE, UNABRIDGED original text to print, faithfully reproduced and paired with a thoughtful new introduction and reader's notes that illuminate the historical context, the author's remarkable career, and the novel's reception in its own turbulent moment. Whether you are discovering Dehan for the first time or revisiting a favorite, this volume invites you into a vanished world, rendered with wit, warmth, and unflinching clarity.
