TRIBUNE.—“Miss Willcocks’s splendid book ... a very strong and able novel, deserving high praise and wide popularity—a novel to read and to remember.”
DAILY MAIL.—“‘The Wingless Victory’ stands out as something quite out of the common.... In its grasp of character and circumstance, in its rare wisdom, and, above all, in its unerring insight into the deep springs of human action, it is a remarkable achievement which entitles its author to a first place in the ranks of contemporary novelists. This is high praise, but we venture to prophesy it will be endorsed by critics and readers alike.”
