The story is so brightly written that our interest is never allowed to flag. The heroine, Lois Clinton, is sweet and womanly.... The tale is told with spirit and vivacity, and shows no little skill in its descriptive passages.’Pall Mall Gazette—‘A book to be read breathlessly from beginning to end. It is decidedly original ... its vivid interest. The picture of the girl is admirably drawn. The style is bright and easy.’Literary World—‘A really good story, original, well written and strong. A really excellent and engaging story. The materials are rare, and, we must admit, ideal ... can be read with interest and enjoyment.’Daily Chronicle—‘Miss Kenealy has original ideas, a nice faculty of literary expression.... Her description of the old house where dwelt her strange young heroine, is quite admirable....

Miss Kenealy has imagined an interesting character, and realised her vividly.’Pall Mall Gazette—‘In “Dr Janet of Harley Street,” Dr Arabella Kenealy has shown that the art of writing lively fiction is not the least of her many accomplishments. Moreover, she has achieved the rare distinction of producing a novel which is didactic and not dull. Miss Kenealy has a quick sense of humour, and a lively faculty of observation, and her style is vivid and effective.’THE HONOURABLE MRS SPOORCrown 8vo, cloth, 6s.Fourth Edition.Black and White—‘Her latest novel has advanced her to the front rank of lady novelists.’The Daily Chronicle—‘A clever story. The most powerful piece of work that Miss Kenealy has done.’The Pall Mall Gazette—‘This powerful story ... brilliantly achieved. Her style is, as always, graceful and easy, and her character sketches are excellent and humorous.’DIGBY, LONG & CO., Publishers, London.
