I just finished this great read and continue to recommend highly
Wilcox's novels. Prompted by my recent reading of Heavenly Days, I
decided to read all of his novels in order.

Can anyone explain this reference (pp. 209-210 of hardback Dial Press
1983 edition):

"it reminded him of a movie he had once seen, years ago, about this
foreign girl who was sickly and had sore knees and kept on seeing this
lady hovering over a rosebush."

Can anyone identify this movie? Thank you!

Richard Butler

I bet it's the long missing sequel to "Citizen Kane".

I'm not going to speculate on foreign girl with sore
knees though.
