THE HELPMATE The Literary Digest says: "The novels of May Sinclair make waste paper of most of the fiction of a season." This new story, the first written since "The Divine Fire," will strengthen the author's reputation. It has been serialized in The Atlantic Monthly, and The New York Sun says of an early instalment: "Miss Sinclair's new novel, 'The Helpmate,' is attracting much attention. It is a miniature painting of delicacy and skill, reproducing few characters in a small space, with fine sincerity,—the invalid sister, the man with a past, and the wife with strict convictions. The riddle is to find which one of the women is the helpmate. In the vital situation thus far developed the sister is leading in the race." As the plot develops the canvas is filled in with other characters as finely drawn. The story grips the reader. Lovers of good literature and of a good story will delight in its development. THE DIVINE FIRE The story of the regeneration of a London poet and the degeneration of a London critic. 15th printing. MARY MOSS in the Atlantic Monthly: "Certain it is that in all our new fiction I have found nothing worthy to compare with 'The Divine Fire,' nothing even remotely approaching the same class." AUDREY CRAVEN The story of a pretty little woman with the soul of a spoiled child, who had a fatal fascination for most men. Literary Digest: "Humor is of the spontaneous sort and rings true, and the lancet of her wit and epigram, tho keen, is never cruel.... An author whose novels may be said to make waste paper of most of the fiction of a season." SUPERSEDED The story of two highly contrasted teachers in a girls' school. New York Sun: "It makes one wonder if in future years the quiet little English woman may not be recognized as a new Jane Austen." THE TYSONS (MR. AND MRS. NEVILL TYSON) Chicago Record-Herald: "Maintains a clinging grip upon the mind and senses, compelling one to acknowledge the author's genius." ******* This and all associated files of various formats will be found in: Updated editions will replace the previous one--the old editions will be renamed. |
