SLEEP IN PEACE
Phyllis Bentley
BY Bernice Finnegan

This new novel will delight the
thousands of American readers who
found Phyllis Bentley's Inherit
ance" one of the most satisfying
romances that have come to us from
England during the past decade.
In ''Sleep in Peace" Miss Bentley
shows us the panorama of genera
ton in the textile trade, the genera
ton which made the transition
from Victorian England to the re-
volts and uncertain loyalties of to-
day.
Alfred Armistead and Henry
Hinchliffe are partners in Black
shaw Mills, a cloth-manufacturing
firm in Yorkshire. The Armistead
and Hinchliffe families differ in pol
itics, in religion, in social outlook,
but with their workmen they are
representative architects of the
modern social fabric.
Henry Hinchlife's children are
Edward, the steady man of affairs;
Frederick, the rebellious student;
Grace, the reformer. The ARMS
leads are Gwen, the enigman, Ludo,
the compassionate, Laura, the ar
tistic. Miss Bentley gives a pene-
trating and ironical study of their
childhood and adolescence in the
manufacturing town of Hudley,
amid the cramping conventions of
the period.
The families intermarry; the war
takes its toll. Meanwhile the part
ners in Blackshaw Mills quarrel,
and re-unite; enjoy prosperity, are
