Evelyn Innes (Barnes & Noble Digital Library)

Evelyn Innes tells the story of an opera singer raised in a devoutly Catholic family who is seduced by two men—a wealthy baronet who makes her famous, and later, an Irish composer (a thinly disguised version of William Butler Yeats). A priest tries to convince Evelyn, tired of life as a mistress, to renounce her career as an opera singer in favor of the religious life.
