Manslaughter

Manslaughter (1921)
by Alice Duer Miller

→

New York, Grosset & Dunlap, 1921. Illustrated by Frederic Rodrigo Gruger and scenes from the photoplay. Manslaughter was adapted into film 5 times: The first, in 1922, was directed by Cecil deMille (the included photographs are from this) and once as a Swedish film (1931)

Lydia of "Manslaughter" is as captivating as she is hateful: not a type, surely, but a portrayal of the most stimulating as well as the most disturbing characteristics of the modern American girl of wealth. Mrs. Miller only occasionally allows her excellent sense of plot to draw her away from smart dialogue and faithful characterization. —The Bookman Recommends, Dec 1921 [Full review(s) on the Talk page]
