Product Description
Countess Gisela Neibuhr feels profound dissatisfaction with her country, as a woman -- and so thoroughly disgusted with it as a German that her personal grievances seem far from necessary to fortify her for the momentous role she is soon to play.
Gisela has risen in German society on the strength of her literary talents -- but talents put to what use! . . . for she hopes for nothing less than a revolt from within the deepest heart of German society.
"No one knows what the future holds, or what unexpected event will suddenly end the war," wrote Gertrude Atherton of her 1918 novel, "but I should not have written The White Morning if I had not been firmly convinced that a Gisela might arise at any moment -- and deliver the world."
