The author has a strange power of looking into the workings of her own mind and heart, and of setting down what she finds there with freedom, humor and justice. The result is “something new under the sun”—a book with the tang of originality. Nothing could be more refreshing than this story of a girl who turned a cad into a man and a man into a hero.

Bizarre, fantastic, intensely individual, bright and interesting, with characters that have a trick of saying and doing unexpected things. Washington Times

A remarkable book, sustained in power and interest, strong in its characterization and picturesque in its treatment of life. It is human, palpitating with reality, tensely alive. Harper's Weekly
