First published in 1919, Valmouth is an erotic novel concerning a small spa resort community that attracts centenarians due to the clean air. The novel largely concerns one of the old ladies’ son’s marriage prospects, as he is scandalously engaged to a black woman, while also favoring a male friend. This novel is a classicly British fanciful sex comedy, with a heavy dose of mysticism and irony.
