"A remarkable collection of stories. In the flood of modern books literary quality such as Mrs. Wharton shows is almost unknown."—New York Sun.

"Not since George Eliot has a woman so thoroughly understood the psychology of the male sex, and without exception no one has presented a more powerful analysis in literary form."—Philadelphia Inquirer.

"Between these stories and those of the ordinary entertaining sort there is a great gulf fixed." The Dial.

"Tragedy and comedy, pathos and humor, are mingled in these pages of brilliant writing and splendid imagination."

"Coming in the midst of an epoch overcrowded with works of fiction, 'The Valley of Decision' stands out giant-like above its surroundings. It stands, indeed, almost without a rival in the modern literary world, and there can be little doubt that it places Mrs. Wharton at once side by side with the greatest novelists of the day."
