Time reviews The Beauties and Furies.
The reviewer writes:
Against the realistic but poetically envisaged background of yesterday's Paris, in a political climate heavy with the Stavisky scandals and the riots of Feb. 6, 1934, swarms a crowd of fantastic figures in a kind of Lutetian Lupercalia.
The Pykk blog
glances at the first lines of
The Beauties and Furies.
The blogger writes:
For the first time Stead has decided to lead the reader into the landscape of the book through the eyes of a single character ... which makes this opening, I think, more urgent, less leisurely, than the openings of the two books that came before.
