One is permitted to discover qualities of mind and a proficiency
and capacity in art from which something new and distinctively the
work of genius may be anticipated in American literature.--_Boston
Globe._
Miss Rives has imagination, breadth, and a daring and courage
oftenest spoken of as masculine. Moreover, she is exquisitely
poetical, and her ideals, with all the mishaps of her delineations,
are of an exalted order.--_N. Y. Star._
It was little more than two years ago that Miss Rives made her
first literary conquest, a conquest so complete and astonishing as
at once to give her fame. How well she has sustained and added to
the reputation she so suddenly won, we all know, and the permanency
of that reputation demonstrates conclusively that her success did
not depend upon the lucky striking of a popular fancy, but that it
rests upon enduring qualities that are developing more and more
richly year by year.--_Richmond State._
It is evident that; the author has imagination in an unusual
degree, much strength of expression, and skill in delineating
character.--_Boston Journal._
There are few young writers who begin a promising career with so
much spontaneity and charm of expression as is displayed by Miss
Rives.--_Literary World_, Boston.
The trait which the author seems to take the most pleasure in
depicting is the passionate loyalty of a girl to her lover or of a
young wife to her husband, and her portrayal of this trait has
feeling, and is set off by an unconventional style and brisk
movement.--_The Book Buyer_, N. Y.
There is such a wealth of imagination, such an exuberance of
striking language in the productions of this author, as to attract
and hold the reader.--_Toledo Blade._
Miss Rives is essentially a teller of love stories, and relates
them with such simple, straightforward grace that she at once
captures the sympathy and interest of the reader.... There is a
freshness of feeling and a mingling of pathos and humor which are
simply delicious.--_New London Telegraph._
