About This Item
Published under a male pseudonym of Ralph Iron, this was Scheiner's first novel and was met with immediate success. A complex narrative woven around themes of cruelty and restriction, set against a colonial backdrop. It's notable for the main female character's handling of themes of love, marriage and motherhood, while subverting the traditional gender roles, female sexuality and intellectual power.
