Saint's Progress

This novel, written in 1933, is based on a situation that occurred between young couples in England frequently, because of the First World War. That is, falling in love but either being unable to marry because of parental pressure or marrying in haste with sometimes disastrous consequences. There were many young women who lost their love, or became single mothers as a result. The story centers around just such a young couple. It is a commentary on morality of the times.
