Hope Trueblood — Patience Worth

In this new novel of mid-Victorian days with its pervading sense of dark mystery, Patience Worth abandons her archaic dialect, and writes in modern English. Whether in the body or in the spirit, the author of the present volume is singularly gifted with imagination, invention and power of expression. 'Hope Trueblood' is much superior to 'The Sorry Tale, ' partly because it is written in good English and partly because it displays far greater ingenuity of imagination ... a work approximating absolute genius. - N. Y. Tribune. A novel that George Eliot might not have been ashamed to own up to. - N. Y. Sun. From the very first there is established an atmosphere true to type and convincing. 'Hope' is one of the most radiant children we've met in a book in many a day. 'Patience Worth' has arrived. - Chicago Daily News.
