In its review of this 1911 novel about conflicts arising from the rigid class prejudices of upper-caste English society, the New York Times singled out Galsworthy’s heroine for special praise, calling her ‘at once splendid, simple, crowned with happiness, and somehow caged and tragically looking out between gilded bars.’
