“The Wind and the Rain”
“THE Wind and the Rain,” one of the most popular plays of recent years, is now published as a novel, and Dr. Merton lfodge’s adaptation of his study of medical student life in Edinburgh takes on a deeper and wider meaning in its now form.
The motives of the characters arc clearer, and win perhaps even more sympathy than when on the stage. Anne Hargreaves, for instance, the girl art student, is idealised, and is somehow more likeable. It. is the spirit of youth, however, symbolised in the words of the" title—fresh and clear, the wind and the rain—which is undeniably the keynote of the novel.
