Castle, Agnes, and Castle, Egerton. Rose of the world. [†]$1.50. Stokes.
“The story opens in India, where the reader has a glimpse of official English life. The tragedy of widowhood descends upon a girl wife, who lives to realize the meaning of her sorrow.”—Outlook.
“This is, perhaps, the finest book that Mr. and Mrs. Egerton Castle have as yet produced—daring, original, moving. The plot is developed with that reticence which is the soul of art; the tension is relieved by delightful touches of humor, charming descriptions of scenery, clever character-drawing.”
