The Tree of Heaven
By MAY SINCLAIR
Cloth, $1.60
“Thoughtful, dramatic, vivid, always well and at times beautifully written, full of real people skilfully analyzed and presented, “The Tree of Heaven” is one of the few great books which have as yet come out of the war.”—New York Times.
“Miss Sinclair’s genius consists in being able to combine great art with a popular story-telling gift. All her detail, the many little miracles of observation and understanding, are not dead nor catalogued, but are merged into the living body of her continuously interesting narrative.”—New York Globe.
“Genius illumines every page of one of the most impressive works of fiction of today. It is a novel of extraordinary power and worth ranking assuredly among the novels of our time which will make a lasting mark on literature and upon human thought and life.”—New York Tribune.
“Miss Sinclair has written nothing that so perfectly represents the chaotic spirit of England during the past twenty years. The story contains much of matters that have nothing to do with the war and in all of them she has portrayed the English character to the life.”—Boston Transcript.
“The Book of the day is ‘The Tree of Heaven.’ It is a war novel—a gripping one. The story does not take us out of England except in a few letters written from the battlefields towards the close of the book, but it shows powerfully the effect of war on England, as represented by a typical group of people, a most loveable family, and their varied connections and friends.”—Philadelphia Telegraph.
