The Pretty Lady

by Arnold Bennett

Christine, a French prostitute, flees to London during World War I in search of a better life. She meets and falls in love with Hoape, a wealthy Englishman, but their relationship is complicated by their different social backgrounds and by the war. Christine is a complex and sympathetic character, and Hoape is a kind and sensitive man, but they are both haunted by their pasts. The novel explores the themes of class, gender, and war, and it is a powerful and moving story about love, loss, and redemption.
