This is H. G. Wells' 1940 novel, "Babes in the Darkling Wood - A Novel of Ideas". Stella has the world at her feet - good looks, brains, and a place at Cambridge University. Together with her admirer Gemini, she becomes interested in the work and mind of a psycho-therapist with exciting new ideas. However, when tragedy encroaches on their lives they soon come to realise that intellectualism brings little comfort or solace. "Babes in the Darkling Wood" is a powerful tale of fluctuating fortunes that presents an interesting dialogue of contemporary developments in psychoanalytical theory. This book is not to be missed by fans of Wells' work and would make for a worthy addition to any collection.
