WINDYHAUGH. A Novel. By Graham Travers, author of “Mona Maclean, Medical Student,” “Fellow Travellers,” etc. 12mo, cloth, $1.50.
“‘Windyhaugh’ shows an infinitely more mature skill and more subtle humor than ‘Mona Maclean’ and a profounder insight into life. The psychology of Dr. Todd’s remarkable book is all of the right kind; and there is not in English fiction a more careful and penetrating analysis of the evolution of a woman’s mind than is given in Wilhelmina Galbraith; but ‘Windyhaugh’ is not a book in which there is only one ‘star’ and a crowd of ‘supers.’ Every character is limned with a conscientious care that bespeaks the true artist, and the analytical interest of the novel is rigorously kept in its proper place and is only one element in a delightful story. It is a supremely interesting and wholesome book, and in an age when excellence of technique has reached a remarkable level, ‘Windyhaugh’ compels admiration for its brilliancy of style. Dr. Todd paints on a large canvas, but she has a true sense of proportion.”—Blackwood’s Magazine.
“For truth to life, for adherence to a clear line of action, for arrival at the point toward which it has aimed from the first, such a book as ‘Windyhaugh’ must be judged remarkable. There is vigor and brilliancy. It is a book that must be read from the beginning to the end and that it is a satisfaction to have read.”—Boston Journal.
