- "The novel is clumsily constructed and is singularly lacking in directness and continuity. Incidents are loosely strung together with small regard for their relative importance.... As to the historical and political features of the novel, and they seem to be the principal ones, they scarcely do more than divert the interest from the story and perplex the reader.... She has tried to write a Disraeli novel in a Bulwer-Lytton manner and she has succeeded in embodying the faults of both."
