Cecilia. A Story of Modern Rome
“That F. Marion Crawford is a master of mystery needs no new telling.… His latest novel, Cecilia, is as weird as anything he has done since the memorable Mr. Isaacs.… A strong, interesting, dramatic story, with the picturesque Roman setting beautifully handled as only a master’s touch could do it.”—Philadelphia Evening Telegraph.
Whosoever Shall Offend
“It is a story sustained from beginning to end by an ever increasing dramatic quality.”—New York Evening Post.
Pietro Ghisleri
“The imaginative richness, the marvellous ingenuity of plot, the power and subtlety of the portrayal of character, the charm of the romantic environment,—the entire atmosphere indeed,—rank this novel at once among the great creations.”—The Boston Budget.
To Leeward
“The four characters with whose fortunes this novel deals, are, perhaps, the most brilliantly executed portraits in the whole of Mr. Crawford’s long picture gallery, while for subtle insight into the springs of human passion and for swift dramatic action none of the novels surpasses this one.”—The News and Courier.
A Lady of Rome
Mr. Crawford has no equal as a writer of brilliant cosmopolitan fiction, in which the characters really belong to the chosen scene and the story interest is strong. His novels possess atmosphere in a high degree.
