Edit
  • Trivia
    After getting married she wrote sentimental romance novels to help make ends meet. These were only moderately successful. Then she decided to go all out and write a selacious novel about a three-week love affair between an exotic woman and an upper-class man. "Three Weeks" was an instant scandal in 1907. Like "Lady Chatterly's Lover" and "Peyton Place", it was vilified from the world's pulpits while becoming a worldwide smash (although not as well written as either of those books). Initially banned for a time in the United States and Great Britain, "Three Weeks" provided Madame Glyn, as she was sometimes called, with lifetime financial security.
