Evelyn Scott - Escapade, A Fragment of Autobiography, Jonathan Cape, 1930, First Edition
Escapade is a work of fictionalized autobiography, often considered a model for the feminist novel due to its raw and honest portrayal of a woman's experience. The book chronicles Scott's self-imposed exile in rural Brazil with a married man (Cyril Kay-Scott) she eloped with in 1913, enduring extreme poverty, disease, and social alienation.
