The novel develops along lines new I 53,001 to fiction, and is a forceful, compelling story; not a story of style and words, but a story of doing, a history of life in action. The moral problem involved is a strange one. A CURIOUS LETTER When this story was running serially, people kept writing in begging eagerly ins Prat for advance proofs, one reader pleading that he had heart disease and feared le Horse, that he might die before the story ended. Such was the breathless interest in the story. COMPARED WITH "MONTE = CRISTO" While it was running in Blackwood's—the oldest magazine in England—one of the oldest subscribers wrote to the editor : " Never since I waited feverishly sixty years ago for ' Monte-Cristo' have I been so excited by a story. And Mrs. Thurston has given me what Dumas did not—a perpetually increasing wonder as to how the adventure is to end." LIFE OVERRUNNING The JV. Y. Evening Mail says : " This is the story of a strong man and a strong woman and their high-handed grasping for happiness in the face of the moral law. The woman, magnificent in her love, rises above considerations of conventions, above fear, above conscience. Circumstances give her the right to follow the dictates of an overwhelming passion. ... It will take rank with the few really good books."
