"There is not a trace of sarcasm or even grotesqueness; her villagers are not caricatures; they are efficient, useful men and women whose individualities have been crystallized into distinct outlines by their limited environments and intimate relations. The book is happily optimistic, presenting, indeed, the commonplaces of narrow lives but breathing also the underlying spirit of poetry and romance."—Baltimore Sun.

"To all who know the hidden sources of human joy and have neither grown old in cynicism nor gray in utilitarianism, Miss Gale's charming love stories, full of fresh feeling and grace of style, will be a draught from the fountain of youth."—Outlook.
"The achievement is unusual for delicacy, subtlety, and the ... felicitous tenderness which brood over the book like a golden autumnal haze which dims the outlines of common things and beautifies them.... The story is indeed unique in this, that it is an idyl for the aged—a romance of seventy."—Chicago Tribune.
"It is an ideal book for husband and wife to read aloud together.... Its picture of steadfast love in old age is the best kind of idealism."—Chicago Record Herald.
