“Miss Douglas’s new book in two ways partakes of a quality little short of the miraculous. It is a post-war story without a trace of war-weariness or bitterness; and it is full of people who are nice with the added charm of being entertaining. As a story ‘Penny plain’ leaves something to be desired. Let us add that if an author is to be judged by her literary preferences and illusions and quotations, Miss Douglas deserves a very high mark.”
