CHRISTMAS TREE

by Lady Eleanor Smith ‧ RELEASE DATE: Nov. 17, 1933

Post-war London and Christmas Eve -- a cross section through the device of a look-in on the lives of seven people buying Christmas trees in a department store. Dinner-at-Eight- ish in technique perhaps, but with an equally varied canvas. Humor and pathos are elbowing each other, romance plays its part, loneliness and tragedy and sophistication and youth and adventure. The fates of all seven are strangely interwoven, the characterizations excellent. A slighter book, perhaps, than FLAMENCO or RED WAGON, but good reading and slated for an excellent holiday sale.
