Synopsis
THE SPOILS OF POYNTON is a complex novel that describes the struggle between a mother and her son over a substantial inheritance that involves not only money and property but an important art collection. The narrative focus is on Fleda Vetch, who is in love with Owen Gereth, the putative heir, and who must cope not only with Owen's greedy, scheming mother but with a rival for his affections who is equally materialistic. The gentle Flora is defeated in the end by forces more ruthless and vindictive than she.

Industry Reviews
"It is sad to think that not one novel reader in ten thousand, probably, will be able to comprehend Mrs. Gareth's and Fleda Vetch's views of life, art, and conduct, leaving sympathy out of the question. But the appreciation of the one in ten thousand is worth working for, and the knowledge Mr. James must have that his delight in the book's subtlety and refinement, the grave, thoughtful piquancy which is its substitute for humor, will be keen while it lasts, is, perhaps a sufficient reward."
