SCOTSMAN—"One of the most powerful stories Mrs. Oliphant has ever
written."
MURRAY'S MAGAZINE—"One of the best books which Mrs. Oliphant's
fertile pen has within recent years produced."
WORLD—"Mrs. Oliphant has written many novels, and many good ones; but
if she has hitherto written one so good as Kirsteen, we have not read
it.... It is the highest praise we can give, when we say that there are
passages in it which, as pictures of Scottish life and character, it
would be difficult, perhaps impossible, to match out of Sir Walter's
pages."
NATIONAL OBSERVER—"Seldom, if ever, has Mrs. Oliphant done better
than in Kirsteen.... There is humour, there is pathos, there is
tragedy, there is even crime—in short, there is human life."
JOYCE.
GUARDIAN—"It has seldom been our lot to fall in with so engrossing a
story."
A BELEAGUERED CITY.
TIMES—"The story is a powerful one and very original to boot."
