The Hundredth Chance

The Hundredth Chance is one of Ethel M. Dell's most passionate and dramatic tales. Maud, her sensitive, unhappy heroine, who adores her crippled brother, Lord Saltash, the aristocratic, mocking villain, and Jake - the strong, silent, deeply passionate hero - are all animated with pulsating, often primitive emotions which I found enthralling sixty years ago, and still do. Only this compelling writer could keep us on tenterhooks until the very last few pages in case the tale does not end happily. Read this book and you will find, like me, that you cannot put it down.
