When H.G. Wells's novel Ann Veronica first appeared in 1909, the editor of one of London's leading publications led a movement to ban the book. Ann Veronica has been called exactly what it is: "a pioneering work of sexual relationship". Yet the relationships it describes touch more than the body of sex. Ann Veronica is about the artificiality of modern life, the war between parents and children, the rights of women, the mysteries of Love, and the struggles of a young woman to understand and integrate Love into the larger meaning of her life.
Ann's beauty makes men babble like babies, follow her on the street, maneuver her into compromising positions, and even propose marriage — all in the futile pursuit of the ideal love-sex goddess they desire in their imaginations. And all the while, not wanting to dominate men or be dominated by them, the real Ann Veronica remains vulnerable, lonely and unknown.
At last, experience teaches Ann the author's credo: "Find the thing you want to do most intensely, make sure that's it, and do it with all your might."
This splendid novel is one of the most honest, provocative, and moving love stories ever told.
