BY SUE OSMOTHERLY, LIBRARIAN "So much of the fiction offered us of late has dealt with the manners and morals or perhaps it might be closer to accurracy to say lack of moralsâ€"of the extremely up-to-date . . . ., that to meet with such an unsophisti- cated and old fashioned person as Jo- anna Godden is a pleasant change. It is a thoroughly realistic novel, this study of life in the district known as the "Three Marshes/' between the years~18»Tlina~lF14. The stir and bustle of farm life, presented as they ttre-wlthvthe-skitt^whicfr conceals-alL traces of effort, are but a clearly de- tailed background for the book's cen- tral figure. One of the noticeable things about the book is its evennessof excellence -an-evenness whtefa-tsr-tfag result of a carefully, conscientiously cultivated talent. The reader remem- bers it father as-Brwhole than for any " • of in- sight. It is an admirable novel, in- teresting, balanced, artistic, in many ways an addition to the many note- worthy tales of rural life in IJuglawi.
