Some Reviews on the First Edition.
"'Nancy Noon' is perhaps the strongest book of the year, certainly by
far the strongest book which has been published by any new writer....
Mr. Swift contrives to keep his book from end to end real, passionate,
even intense.... If Mr. Meredith had never written, one would have
predicted, with the utmost confidence, a great future for Mr. Benjamin
Swift, and even as it is I have hopes."--_Sketch._
"Certainly a promising first effort."--_Whitehall Review._
"If 'Nancy Noon' be Mr. Swift's first book, it is a success of an
uncommon kind."--_Dundee Advertiser._
"'Nancy Noon' is one of the most remarkable novels of the year, and the
author, avowedly a beginner, has succeeded in gaining a high position in
the ranks of contemporary writers.... All his characters are delightful.
In the heat of sensational incidents or droll scenes we stumble on
observations that set us reflecting, and but for an occasional roughness
of style--elliptical, Carlyle mannerisms--the whole is admirably
written."--_Westminster Gazette._
"Mr. Swift has the creative touch and a spark of genius."--_Manchester
Guardian._
"Mr. Swift has held us interested from the first to the last page of his
novel."--_World._
"The writer of 'Nancy Noon' has succeeded in presenting a powerfully
written and thoroughly interesting story."--_Scotsman._
"We are bound to admit that the story interested us all through, that it
absorbed us towards the end, and that not until the last page had been
read did we find it possible to lay the book down."--_Daily Chronicle._
"It is a very strong book, very vividly coloured, very fascinating in
its style, very compelling in its claim on the attention, and not at all
likely to be soon forgotten."--_British Weekly._
"A clever book.... The situations and ensuing complications are
dramatic, and are handled with originality and daring throughout."--_Daily
News._
"Mr. Benjamin Swift has written a vastly entertaining
book."--_Academy._
