"In these days of overmuch involved plot and diction in the writing of novels, a book like this brings a sense of refreshment, as much by the virility and directness of its style as by the interest of the story it tells.... The human interest of the book is absorbing. The descriptions of life in India and England are delightful. ... But it is the intense humanity of the story—above all, that of its dominating character, Nick Ratcliffe, that will win for it a swift appreciation."—Boston Transcript.
"Well written, wholesome, overflowing with sentiment, yet never mawkish. Lovers of good adventure will enjoy its varied excitement, while the frankly romantic will peruse its pages with joy."—Chicago Record-Herald.

A lively, unaffected, and interesting story of good craftsmanship, showing imagination and insight, with both vivid and dramatic qualities.

"The great charm of the story is that it is so essentially Irish. Country and people are so lovingly, so feelingly, so understanding described. The characters are strikingly original creations, finely conceived and consistently developed. Its literary style is all that the most critical would ask."—Baltimore Sun.
