“Packed full of character and real life.... The character of the heroine is admirably drawn upon quite unconventional lines ... the situation is worked out with remarkable vigour and intensity. This is a fine, powerful and impressive novel, triumphing over inadequacies of literary training by sheer force of sincerity and of glowing human sentiment.”—Daily Telegraph.
A RUNAWAY RING
by Mrs. HENRY E. DUDENEY 6/-
Author of “Maids’ Money,” “The Orchard Thief,” “A Large Room,” etc.
“Her previous work has been good, but in ‘A Runaway Ring’ she has surpassed her best previous efforts, and it is no easy matter to do her sufficient honour. To make a romance from life’s ‘fedious afternoon’ without being simply sentimental is a task which scarcely any accomplish, and so, when the thing is done, it can only be judged on its own merits and without comparison.”—The Standard.
THE ADJUSTMENT
by MARGUERITE BRYANT 6/-
Author of “Christopher Hibbault, Roadmaker,” etc.
“‘The Adjustment’ ... is a notable novel.”—Westminster Gazette.
“It is an admirable book, of an original and impressive nature, the authoress well understands the portrayal of human passions, whether love or hate, and makes her characters singularly attractive.... Many excellent situations add to the general interest.... We advise all who enjoy a thoroughly good novel to add ‘The Adjustment’ to their library list.”—The Globe.
