The People Downstairs. By the Author of “Mr. Meyer’s Pupil.” Eva Lathbury.
6s.
Few new writers have enjoyed a more satisfactory début than Miss Eva Lathbury. Her first novel, “Mr. Meyer’s Pupil,” was so extremely intellectual and refined that some publishers might well have hesitated in taking it up. The discernment of the English novel reader, however, was once more vindicated, and the majority of the critics were highly complimentary, one reviewer going so far as to suggest that Miss Lathbury would found a school of her own in fiction. The delicate wit that distinguished “Mr. Meyer’s Pupil” pervades “The People Downstairs,” which is sure to enhance an already enviable reputation.
