In these days of overmuch involved plot and diction in the writing of novels, a book like this brings a sense of refreshment, as much by the virility and directness of its style as by the interest of the story it tells.... The human interest of the book is absorbing. The descriptions of life in India and England are delightful.... But it is the intense humanity of the story--above all, that of its dominating character, Nick Ratcliffe, that will win for it a swift appreciation.
