Arcadia in Avernus

In this captivating novella from the early 1900s, an unhappy wife escapes her marriage of convenience for a passionate romance with another man. They flee to the sprawling Dakota prairie to build a new life together, where hope and excitement seem to flourish. However, their idyllic retreat is soon disrupted when the ex-husband unexpectedly reappears. A surprisingly modern tale, infused with theatrical elements, from the posthumous collection of Lillibridge short stories, *A Breath of Prairie*, published in 1911.
