England -- Social life and customs -- Fiction; Love stories
THE SCOTSMAN:--"The story is so cleverly handled as to keep its
interest always lively and stimulating; and the book cannot fail to be
enjoyed."
BRISTOL MERCURY:--"The story possesses a freshness doubly welcome on
account of the charm and skill with which it is unfolded. _Diana_ is
a novel well worth reading."
A TANGLED WEB.
DAILY MAIL:--"An ingenious and most unusual plot. The reader will
wonder and be amazed. A 'tangled web' indeed is this story, and the
author's ingenuity and intrepidity in developing and working out the
mystery calls for recognition at the outset."
FINANCIAL TIMES:--"This is an extremely well written and interesting
story, and ranks well with Miss Moberly's other popular works. The
plot is ingeniously carried through, and the interest thus aroused is
well sustained."
THAT PREPOSTEROUS WILL.
THE GLOBE:--"Molly is a bright, clever, affectionate damsel; and the
author has succeeded in making her as fascinating to the reader as to
her hero, Alan Dayrell."
THE NOTTINGHAM GUARDIAN:--"The story of Miranda's transformation from
grub to butterfly is one of very great interest, the character of Mrs.
Gray, the lady under whom she is trained for her new position in
society, being portrayed with a delicate but sure hand."
THE SIN OF ALISON DERING.
THE FINANCIAL TIMES:--"The plot of this story is cleverly conceived and
well carried out. Miss Moberly writes with great charm and skill, and
the reader is not likely to put down the book until the tangle is
finally cleared up. As a character-study, the figure of Alison Dering
is drawn with considerable insight."
DAN--AND ANOTHER.
THE MORNING LEADER:--"A clever and carefully wrought book. The
characterization is natural and satisfying, and the various situations
are handled with strength and humour."
THE DUNDEE COURIER:--"The plot is a strong one, and it is unfolded in a
most convincing manner, showing the inner workings of a woman's mind
and the birth of a hopeless passion."
ANGELA'S MARRIAGE.
THE IRISH INDEPENDENT:--"That Miss Moberly has a delightful style is
not only evident from a perusal of some of her former works, but from
the fascinatingly told story now under review. Her characterization is
charming and the style simple and delicate, with the result that the
book will be found most interesting and entertaining."
THE DAILY GRAPHIC:--"This capital story by L. G. Moberly is one of
those in which to a thoroughly well framed plot are added very
considerable skill in narration, and the results of her observation of
human nature."
A WOMAN AGAINST THE WORLD.
THE SCOTSMAN:--"The whole tale is a powerful and enthralling one, and
cannot fail to enhance the growing reputation of the authoress."
SHEFFIELD TELEGRAPH:--"Whilst full of dramatic interest it is told
quietly and gracefully."
