'The Pretty Lady' is considered to be one of Bennett's most revealing and under-rated works. It is the story of a French prostitute, Christine, who has escaped from wartime Ostend, and set herself up in business in London. Though a refugee, she demands no pity; she is self-sufficient, practical and realistic. Christine is not a harpy preying on innocent soldiers, but a canny businesswoman, doing the best she can with the opportunities life has given her. Her main relationship is with G.J. Hoape, a wealthy man above the military age. Bennett in this novel presents a disturbing image of wartime society, fragmented, uneasy and divided. There are references to industrial unrest and to social injustices, and hints that the British press is less than frank about the war.

First published in the year 1918, Arnold Bennett's 'The Pretty Lady' is a fascinating novel. This novel gives a glimpse of the gender and class issues at the dawn of the twentieth century in Europe. Switching between the perspectives of two distinct narrators, this is a closely observed portrait of a turbulent time, much in the same line as most of the modernist novelists in Britain at that point of time.
