Thurston, Ernest Temple. Traffic, the story of a faithful woman. †$1.50. Dillingham.
In his arraignment of society in general and certain phases of human nature in particular, the author takes his reader over the ground of an old question—the Roman Catholic denial of divorce. “The noble-hearted Irish girl of the story is most cruelly confronted with the fact that unless she would lose what is to her the only hope of heaven, she may not put away finally and by divorce her drunken, brutal, and bestial husband, and in plain fact may hold more hope of final salvation in a life of sin than in a marriage of the truest affection following a divorce.” (Outlook.)

“The writing is vigorous, and the exposition courageous, and the book is better in parts than as a whole.”
