Viewed either as a delightful entertainment or as a skilful and finished piece of literary art, this is easily one of the most important of recent novels. One can not read a dozen pages without realizing that the author has mastered the magic of the storyteller’s art. After the dozen pages the author is forgotten in his creations.
It is rare, indeed, that characters in fiction live and love, suffer and fight, grasp and renounce in so human a fashion as in this splendidly vital narration.
