In this new novel of mid-Victorian days with its pervading sense of dark
mystery, "Patience Worth" abandons her archaic dialect, and writes in
modern English.
"Whether in the body or in the spirit, the author of the
present volume is singularly gifted with imagination,
invention and power of expression. 'Hope Trueblood' is much
superior to 'The Sorry Tale,' partly because it is written in
good English and partly because it displays far greater
ingenuity of imagination ... a work approximating absolute
genius."--_N. Y. Tribune_.
"A novel that George Eliot might not have been ashamed to own
up to."--_N. Y. Sun_.
"From the very first there is established an atmosphere true
to type and convincing. 'Hope' is one of the most radiant
children we've met in a book in many a day. 'Patience Worth'
has arrived."--_Chicago Daily News_.
