Daily Chronicle.—“The scene between husband and wife is one of the strongest and most restrained pieces of dramatic work we have seen for quite a long while.”
Standard.—“A strong dramatic interest and a really excellent love story.”
Daily Graphic.—“Not only a very charming tale in itself, but it is excellently told.”
Bookman.—“In very few recent novels will there be found anything approaching its grasp of character and firmness of touch. Her characters are not made of ink and paper, but of flesh and blood.”
Graphic.—“A very charming story indeed.... The large-natured Mary will live in the memory as the most delightful of heroines.... A thoroughly lifelike novel which can be enjoyed with the mind as well as with the sympathies.”
Spectator.—“Mrs Mann certainly gives us an effective tale. Mary’s self-devotion on her sister’s behalf makes a powerful incident and leads up to a dénouement of much dramatic power.”
