Mrs. Annie Green
is a romance where the outcome is most unclear and much in doubt until almost the end. It is somewhat predictable and most unusual at the same time. Mrs. Annie Green, unhappily and unaccountably married to a much older, nasty man, is attracted to and by Mr. Barker, a journalist who is fired practically before the end of the first page. As in all of Opie Read's books, character development is simply superb. The twists, turns, and troubles Mr. Barker and Mrs. Green suffer throughout the book make it almost impossible to put down.
