In _Nathan Burke_ Mrs. Watts told with great power the story of a man. In
this, her new book, she does much the same thing for a woman. Jennie
Cushing is an exceedingly interesting character, perhaps the most
interesting of any that Mrs. Watts has yet given us. The novel is her life
and little else, but that is a life filled with a variety of experiences
and touching closely many different strata of humankind. Throughout it
all, from the days when as a thirteen-year-old, homeless, friendless waif,
Jennie is sent to a reformatory, to the days when her beauty is the
inspiration of a successful painter, there is in the narrative an appeal
to the emotions, to the sympathy, to the affections, that cannot be
gainsaid.
