“Good-bye, Sweetheart!” is certainly one of the brightest
and
most entertaining novels that has appeared for many years. The
heroine of the story, Lenore, is really an original character, drawn
only as a woman could draw her, who had looked deeply into the
mysterious recesses of the feminine heart. She is a creation totally
beyond the scope of a man's pen, unless it were the pen of
Shakespeare. Her beauty, her wilfulness, her caprice, her love,
and her sorrow, are depicted with marvellous skill, and invested
with an interest of which the reader never becomes weary. Miss
Broughton, in this work, has made an immense advance on her
other stories, clever as those are. Her sketches of scenery and of
interiors, though brief, are eminently graphic, and the dialogue is
always sparkling and witty. The incidents, though sometimes
startling and unexpected, are very natural, and the characters and
story, from the beginning to the end, strongly enchain the attention
of the reader.
Opinions of the Press on “Red as a Rose
is She.”
From the Boston Traveller.
“After reading such a work, one can no more read an ordinary book than
one
could enjoy a lunch on dry bread immediately after having dined on curry and
Chili,
washed down with burnt brandy.”
From the Baltimore Gazette.
“The eleverest novel of the season. The characters are few, but
remarkably
well drawn; the dialogue fresh, crisp, and sparkling, and the incidents
thoroughly
natural.”
Either of the above sent free, by mail, to any part
