'The love, as love, is shown with such intensity that it sets the reader's heart a-throb; and the Riviera setting is aglow with colour and life.'—Daily Mail.

'He has set it against a charmingly painted background of warm Southern atmosphere and Mediterranean scenery; and he has drawn, in the persons of the delightfully commonplace Mrs. Travis and Nielson—the polished cosmopolitan and professional gambler, with an unsuspected strain of tenderness beneath his impassive exterior—two of the best comedy characters that we have encountered in recent fiction.'—Outlook.

'A powerfully written story. The analysis of character is good, and the depiction of life in the Riviera is excellent.'—Manchester Courier.

'A tragedy wrought in sunshine. The scenes are set on the Mediterranean shore, and the atmosphere of the book is heavy with the odour of roses and heliotrope.'—Dundee Advertiser.

'A clever study in the psychology of love.'—Scotsman.

'The author shows considerable literary merit and undoubted skill in the working-out of his plot.'—Glasgow Herald.

'Few, we imagine, will deny the crispness, subtleness of analysis, and undoubted strength.'—Aberdeen Free Press.
