COVERING TWO YEARS

by I. V. Morris ‧ RELEASE DATE: N/A

These new publishers are prophesying that this English novel will find one advocate in every three of a potential market. My experience does not bear them out, as I tested it on three readers, two women and a man, and the independent reports indicated almost exactly parallel opinions. Possibly there is a market, but it's hard to see where it lies... A macabre story, a psychological study of a pathological case, unconvincing, except in theme, -- the study of a girl who could not accept reality, who continually escaped from life into an introspective, morbid inferiority complex. The story is almost wholly mental -- the actual incidents are few and comparatively unimportant -- the final cutting of the Gordian knot does not ring true. Although written by an American, the flavor is distinctly un-American, and one suspects the writer of having spent the last ten years on alien shores.
