THE GIFT OF THE GODS
By FLORA ANNIE STEEL
Author of "On the Face of the Waters," "The Potter's Thumb," "From the Five Rivers," etc. etc.
"She has that gift, rare now among novelists, of being interested, first of all, in the story she has to tell. She is herself so strongly interested that her readers are carried along with her and share in her vitality and freshness."—Standard.
"Mrs. Steel gives us one admirably dramatic scene,—the death of an old woman from shock at a sudden disillusion while on her way to the Communion Table.... The squalid and starveling lot of crofters living on barren soil in or towards the last decade of the 19th century is well depicted."—Athenæum.
