  By MAY SINCLAIR Cloth, 12mo, $1.35 Every reader of "The Divine Fire," in fact every reader of any of Miss Sinclair's books, will at once accord her unlimited praise for her character work. "The Three Sisters" reveals her at her best. It is a story of temperament, made evident not through tiresome analyses but by means of a series of dramatic incidents. The sisters of the title represent three distinct types of womankind. In their reaction under certain conditions Miss Sinclair is not only telling a story of tremendous interest but she is really showing a cross section of life. "Once again Miss Sinclair has shown us that among the women writers to-day she can be acclaimed as without rival in the ability to draw a character and to suggest atmosphere.... In "The Three Sisters" she gives full measure of her qualities. It is in every way a characteristic novel."—London Standard. "Miss Sinclair's singular power as an artist lies in her identification with nature.... She has seldom written a more moving story."—Metropolitan. "It is a book powerful alike in its description of the background and in its analysis of character.... This story confirms the impression of her unusual ability."—Outlook. "Miss Sinclair's most important book."—Reedy's Mirror. "'The Three Sisters' is a powerful novel, written with both vigor and delicacy, dramatic, absorbingly interesting."—New York Times.
