Manchester Courier.—“A powerfully written story. The analysis of character is good, and the depiction of life in the Riviera is excellent.”
BURROW, C. K.
THE FIRE OF LIFE. A Novel by C. K. Burrow, Author of “Asteck’s Madonna,” “The Way of the Wind,” etc. Crown 8vo, cloth. 6s.
St James’s Gazette.—“A clever story. The smoothly-written little tale with its rather ambitious title is a real pleasure to read, because it has a wholesome, manly tone about it, and the characters do not appear to be bookmade but of real flesh and blood.”
Saturday Review.—“A good, careful, full-blooded novel of a kind that is not common nowadays.”
Outlook.—“It has a point of view, a delicate sensitiveness, artistic restraint, subtlety of perception, and a true literary style. Mr Burrow proves himself an artist with many sides to his perception.”
Literary World.—“Had we passed it by unread ours would have been the loss. A charming story based on somewhat conventional lines, but told with such verve and freshness as render it really welcome. Mr Burrow has admirably succeeded in writing a really interesting story, and, which is more uncommon, he has well individualised the different persons of his drama. ‘The Fire of Life’ should figure in the list of novels to be read of all those who like a good story, and like that good story well told.”
Manchester Courier.—“The whole book is full of ‘fire,’ full of ‘life,’ and full of interest.”
Nottingham Express.—“The author’s style is clear and crisp, with a purity of diction it would be difficult to surpass.”
