The Incomplete Amorist
(3 votes)First published in 1906, this novel centers upon four main characters and their romantic interactions. Betty Desmond is a pretty, naive girl ready to get into all sorts of trouble and cause her step-father and aunt endless worry. Then there's Eustace Vernon, the amorist himself, who means no harm but goes to great lengths to win the ladies just to appease his vanity. Nesbit mixes things up with Lady St. Craye, one of the amorist's many jilted lovers. And lastly Mr. Temple, who makes a clumsy first impression and is not very interesting or threatening...or is he? Includes illustrations by Clarence F. Underwood.

Only having read Nesbit's children's literature, which I very much enjoyed, I didn't quite know what to expect when I began "The Incomplete Amorist.". Ms. Nesbit has such keen insight into the human soul, but paints it with such humourous and indulgent strokes that she is a great pleasure to read.
Jude--I just posted a review of this on the site's blog, and I completely agree with you. I was very much intrigued by the book for adults by a famed children's author, and I wasn't disappointed!
