Critics Review
“The best work of its kind. Throbs with life upon a hostile frontier … touched with local color, lively with dialogue, bright with suspense.” – The New York Times
“The best work of its kind. Throbs with life upon a hostile frontier … touched with local color, lively with dialogue, bright with suspense.”
—The New York Times
“Lana, the eighteen-year-old bride, and Gil had to fumble and struggle and reach their way to each other through misunderstandings and inharmonies of personality as all living husbands and wives must do. Her personal, intimate relations with her husband are not taken for granted, as in most books about ‘history people.’ And Mrs. McKlennar, the Trojan, the Amazon, the trump, is a marvelous character worth reading the book to know.”
—Dorothy Canfield, Book-of-the-Month Club News
