Review: "These stories possess dramatic quality, humor and gently insinuated doctrine of human kindness and generosity."
New York Times
"...genial and enthralling."
The New Yorker
"Atmosphere and background are subordinated to the story. This and their smooth continuity will make them a good choice for a storyteller...this is an important book."
Saturday Review
