"Without doubt the most notable novel of the summer is this strong
story of Italian life, so full of local color one can almost see the
cool, shaded patios and the flame of the pomegranate blossom, and
smell the perfume of the grapes growing on the hillsides. It is a
story of deep and passionate heart interests, of fierce loves and
fiercer hates, of undisciplined natures that work out their own bitter
destiny of woe. There has hardly been a finer piece of portraiture
than that of the child Arduina,――the child of a sickly and unloved
mother and a cruel and vindictive father,――a morbid, queer, lonely
little creature, who is left to grow up without love or training of
any kind."――_New Orleans Picayune._
