* Keays, Hersilia A. M. Road to Damascus: a novel. †$1.50. Small.
7–31480.
A young wife, unbeknown to her husband, adopts his child born out of wedlock. The story abounds in struggles which result from her fastkeeping of the secret such as “the desire of the child to know who he is, the antagonism between the boy and his unguessed father, the irritation of the husband at her insistence upon keeping this alien element in their life, and the determination of the woman that neither of them shall know the truth. Toward the end Richarda seems to sum up the whole book when she says: ‘It is the sweat of one soul for another that counts.’” (N. Y. Times.)

“It is as bare of incident as an Ibsen drama. And like an Ibsen drama it grips the attention as the years of its movement roll by. The book has a certain distinction of difference from the flood of novels, not only because of the artistry of its handling, but also because it is not concerned with material things and the outside facts of life.”
