Description
Dope-Darling, a story of excess and excitement set against the backdrop of pre-war London, follows Roy's whirlwind romance with Claire. After leaving his fiancée Beatrice, Roy marries the bohemian starlet in just three weeks, embarking on a world of luxury and decadence. As Britain prepares for war with Germany, Roy begins to question whether enlistment could provide him an escape from his troubles. As the cocaine and booze take their toll, Roy's thoughts turn to the possibility of military service as a means of escape. This reimagined edition of David Garnett's 1918 work brings the story into the modern era, while maintaining its original integrity. Published by West Margin Press, Dope-Darling is a thought-provoking tale of love, excess, and the human search for meaning in times of turmoil.
