 The novel "Evvie" about two emancipated girls in the 1920s and heavily based on her own experiences, was begun in London, continued in New York, finished in Beverly Hills, and proofed in Paris.The novel won faint reviews, but Caspary considered it one of her best, and famed "Chicago Tribune" reviewer Fanny Butcher came out of retirement long enough to denounce it as obscene.She could no longer work with the intensity and fervor of her youth, but she still needed to earn a living and pay their debts.
