_Daily Graphic._--“It only remains to ask if Mrs. Wharton has made
the narrative interesting. She has made it enthralling. We watch
Undine with a fearful fascination.... Most brilliant novel.”
_Daily Express._--“Mrs. Wharton writes with splendid force and
humour. Her book grips, from the beginning to the end.”
_Standard._--“We read this book of close on 600 pages at a sitting.
Mrs. Wharton’s literary skill is of a high order. Her prose is a
delight to read, and her manner captivates us.”
_Globe._--“Mrs. Wharton has written a fine novel, or rather, she
has not so much written a fine novel as handled finely a big theme.
It is surely too late in the day to say that no other woman who
writes in English writes so well.”
