Description
"She had once been described, by one who saw below the surface, as a perfectly beautiful woman in an absolutely plain shell." The Rosary was released to remarkable success in 1909, eventually becoming the bestselling book of 1910. Still popular more than a century after its publication, the novel centers on Jane Champion, an independent spirit who has many male friends, but who has never found true love. When a friendly acquaintance begins to turn into something more, Jane is puzzled and uncertain -- and her doubts cast a pall over the budding relationship. Will Jane and her beau find a way to make this unlikely romance last forever? A story of undying love, The Rosary was translated into eight languages and made into five motion pictures. According to the New York Times, it was the number one bestselling novel of 1910 in the United States.
