As FOR THE WOMANFrancis IlesDoubleday, Doran ($2.50).
Francis Iles, who as Anthony Berkeley writes detective fiction, is also known to U. S. readers as the author of two much-admired psychological murder stories, Before the Fact and Malice Aforethought.
No murder story, although it almost turns into one, As for the Woman is the sinister tale of a vacation love-affair between an Oxford undergraduate and a doctor's wife. "There are few human relationships more complicated than a love affair between a young man and an older woman," says Author Iles, "and there are few more summarily dismissed by the world at large."
