Esther Waters: A Novel
By GEORGE MOORE
‘Strong, vivid, sober, yet undaunted in its realism, full to the brim of observation of life and character, Esther Waters is not only immeasurably superior to anything the author has ever written before, but it is one of the most remarkable works that has appeared in print this year, and one which does credit not only to the author, but the country in which it has been written.’—The World.
‘As we live the book through again in memory, we feel more and more confident that Mr. Moore has once for all vindicated his position among the half-dozen living novelists of whom the historian of English literature will have to take account.’—Daily Chronicle.
Crown 8vo, Cloth, 568 pages, Price 6s.

‘A remarkable book, that adds to the reputation of its author.’—Speaker.
