95. Reynolds, Broda.

A black silk stocking / by Broda Reynolds. (Sydney : Henry Edgar Reynolds, 1907)

A black silk stocking

This was Broda Reynolds’ first novel. She published three more, with the N.S.W. Bookstall Co. A black silk stocking is a serious work dealing with obsession and failed relationships. It begins with a man being attracted to a girl as she gets off a tram at Circular Quay.

It was not the beauty of her face that blinded and bewitched him; for as yet he had not seen a feature in it. It was a stocking – a black silk stocking – with a rather showy underskirt that caught his eye. (p. 1)
