A Stranger to Love | 
so-soI can only think that Ms. Huxley aspired to being more than a Harlequin author with her long sentences packed with adverbs and adjectives. I've never read the words "somnolence" and "somnolent" so many times and was unfamiliar with "importuned", also used multiple times. I looked it up: "to press or urge with troublesome persistence". I do love learning new words, though I doubt I'll ever use this one.
