Description
Gertrude Atherton's Transplanted first appeared in 1898 under the title American Wives and English Husbands. Dodd, Mead published this new and revised edition in 1919. The book stands in her list among the California novels, as the tale of the eighties, companion to The Californians. It opens in San Francisco, at a boarding house on Market Street.
Mrs Hayne's house stands where the cross streets leap down from the heights and empty into the great thoroughfare. The street roars, in Atherton's first page, from the sandy desert at the base of Twin Peaks to the teeming wharves on the bay. Her subject is the transplanting of American women into English marriages and English life, with California as the home ground they carry with them.
