Thomas Y. CrOUeH Co.
A masterful first novel is walk

More noteworthy than its length,
however, is its breadth. The story
concerns an Anglo-French family

Without loss of continuity, Miss
Knight brings into the picture at
least score of principle characters,
spreading them over some 10 years
and three generations. Her refresh
