Other Comments:
Greek-American novelist Belle K. Maniates wrote romantic novels that explored the clashes between the social classes in the early 1900s. Heroines like Amarilly of Clothes-line Alley (1915) and Penny of Top Hill Trail (1919) harbor secrets and ambitions that are played out in passionate romances with mysterious, wealthy suitors.
