Devonshire furnishes the setting of this story. “The plot centres about the winning of an unloving and pretty nearly unfaithful wife by her husband.... The husband is a physician, a curious mixture of strength and weakness, heroism and failure, and altogether a very human and lovable person. The wife is not so comprehensible a type, but still real enough in her feminine perversity and unreasonableness.... Johanna is of another type, and she, too, makes one see deep down into the reality of things. The whole book is alive with human passion, powerfully portrayed, and with the vigor and freshness of the open air.” (N. Y. Times.)
“Talent such as hers was not and never could be acquired in any of the ready-made schools of fiction. It bears the stamp of originality.”
