Delina Delaney

Delina Delaney, the final completed and most "ambitious" novel of the late great Amanda McKittrick Ros, has it all: love, romance, mystery, sudden death, murder, betrayal, alliteration, and an abundance of the wonderfully indecipherable prose for which Ros is most famous.

The first sentence is a masterpiece:

"Have you ever visited that portion of Erin's Plot that offers its sympathetic soil for the minute survey and scrutinous examination of those in political power, whose decision has wisely been the means before now of converting the stern and prejudiced, and reaching the hand of slight aid to share its strength in augmenting its agricultural richness?"

Amanda McKittrick Ros, universally acclaimed "Authoress" whose unique version of genius nearly transcends literature itself, displays the complete repertoire of her "talents" in Delina Delaney.

The Amanda McKittrick Ros Society is very proud to present this reissue of Delina Delaney. The interior contents have been faithfully reproduced as exactly as possible, including Amanda's lengthy "Criticism of Barry Pain" which she inserted in the beginning of the book as a review of his review of "Irene Iddesleigh," concluding in the end that he was critical of the book because he was secretly in love with her, haha.
