MARRYING OF HESTER RAINSBROOK by J. A. REVERMORT
“This novel is permeated not only by real culture, but by genuine insight into character, and the romance of ‘Hester Rainsbrook’ with the man whose dark background she redeems is well worth reading. The minor characters, too, stand out in excellent perspective.” --_T.P.’s Weekly._
“It is all written in the gayest, happiest spirit of light comedy ... the whole thing is cleverly and entertainingly done ... the story holds you interested and amused throughout.” --_The Bookman._
“It is a pure comedy ... it makes excellent and exciting and humorous reading. There is plenty of good character-drawing to boot, and the writing is simple and effective and often witty.... Mr. Keating has written a very entertaining story, and we are grateful to him.” --_Daily Chronicle._
“A light-hearted medley, the spirit and picturesqueness of which the author cleverly keeps alive to the last act.” --_Times Literary Supplement._
“A book of youth and high spirits! That is the definition of this altogether delightful ‘Milky Way’ ... this wholly enchanting ‘Viv,’ her entourage ... as gay and irresponsible as herself.... Miss Tennyson Jesse has great gifts; skill and insight, candour, enthusiasm, and a pleasant way of taking her readers into her confidence ... the final impression is that she enjoyed writing her book just as much as this reviewer has enjoyed reading it.” --_Daily Mail._
INDISCRETIONS OF DR. CARSTAIRS by A. de O.
“The art of the short story is a rare one, and A. de O. not only possesses it in a general way, but adds to it what seems to be the skill of a specialist in the treatment of the professional motive inspiring all his tales ... he is undeniably entertaining.” --_Observer._
“There is much in this novel that goes crash through sentimentalism, and there is some excellent characterisation ... the whole breathes such a clear desentimentalised air that it is invigorating.” --_Daily News and Leader._
“The hose of common sense is turned on the persisting remnants of the romance of Bohemianism.... The book gives us the contrast between the trivial round of ‘respectable’ society and life among the intellectuals.” --_Morning Post._
