“One of the most notable novels of the year ... comes so near being
something very big that the chief thing to be guarded against is
unwise enthusiasm.”—_Daily Chronicle._
“Unquestionably the best book he has yet written, the characters are
drawn with the vividness of life itself ... the women are drawn with
the hand of a master.”—_Country Life._
“This superb novel ... brilliant in its characterization and
intensely engrossing in its human interest.”—_Sussex Daily News._
