Guardian.—“Stories such as no other living author could write.”
Globe.—“If this book will add nothing to the greatness of Thomas Hardy, it will with equal certainty take nothing away.... As certain to be welcomed by students of the art of Thomas Hardy as by readers who will be glad of it for the stories it contains.”

Pall Mall Gazette.—“The story is full of life and action and character, and the humour is not wanting. It brings the Ireland of to-day closer to us, and throws fresh light on the national spirit.”
The Times.—“To consider this book simply as a piece of fiction just now is almost impossible; it is one more contribution to the hydra-headed Irish question. It is like a flaming brand flung into the middle of a roaring bonfire. Mr. O’Donovan’s whole mind and heart have gone into the writing of his story. It is no less clear that it is the outcome of direct experience.”
Daily News.—“Waiting is full of charming sketches of Irish character, a real tenderness for Irish religion, and a keen sense of the difference between clericalism and Catholicism.”
Daily Mail.—“The power and quiet beauty of Mr. O’Donovan’s Father Ralph are more than sustained in his new novel.”
FATHER RALPH.
