Queen Against Owen [EPUB ebook] 

‘An unmistakable success. Regarded simply as a story, we have not for a long while read anything more intensely dramatic. It would compel notice for the mere manner of its telling. Not often has an author who has boldly departed from the traditional lines of the writer of fiction so completely vindicated his method. There is high quality in this book, with its vivid glimpses of life, and its clever characterization…. Altogether, a notable book; and if its popularity be at all commensurate with its merits, it will have a great vogue.’-Sun.
