...Authoress Undset's latest novel stands a very slim chance of being put on the Pope's Index Librorum Prohibitorum. If not exactly a manual for Roman Catholics, The Burning Bush should please Catholic palates and doubtless annoy any heffling Protestant literate enough to read it. A sequel to The Wild Orchid, The Burning Bush carries the story of Paul Selmer from young married days to a ripe and disillusioned middle...
...Authoress Undset was converted to Catholicism in 1924. In 1925 her marriage to Painter A. C. Svarstad was annulled. She was humanly pleased to get the Nobel Prize for Literature in 1928 but gave it all ($42,000) to charity. With her four children, Sigrid Undset, now 50, lives in a house over 900 years old on the shore of a lake in the valley of Lillehammer, Norway. When she looks up from her writing, she sees on her desk a photograph of U. S. Authoress Willa Gather. Other books: The Master of Hestviken, Jenny, Krist
...Delafield-sipper you will know that Authoress Delafield's books (The Way Things Are, The Diary of a Provincial Lady, House Party), like so many informally-handed cups of tea, have a lighthearted, everyday, almost always amusing flavor. But this time the leaves are not quite fresh, the brew is a little bitter. Usually she manages to be not too true to life to be funny. But unless you can laugh at locksmiths you will find nothing in A Good Man's Love to hold your sides over...
Before the War, the late devious Novelist Henry James, encountering Authoress Harris, went so far as not to deem it inexpedient to encourage her with her writing. His protegee's subsequent literary career has given him cause to turn proudly in his grave. Long a successful journalist (London Daily News, Daily Telegraph, Manchester Guardian), Authoress Harris won a $5,000 prize with her first novel, The Seventh Gate. Her second novel may popularize a writer who is apparently Katherine Mansfield's nearest living literary relative. Her book, written in an extraordinarily vivid style, too pointed for extended novel-writing...
Tried, convicted Aicadre is taken off. Meanwhile at the "cloob" there is much irrelevant activity. But two sympathetic visitors, Nicholas and Philomela Purssord, of whose doings Authoress Harris makes a little novel in itself, come to Deux Estaings. When Aicadre is released they help break down his inhuman, crippled bitterness. When that breaks down the truth breaks out at last?Aicadre is in fact desperately in love with life, and, after Laure has ordered her tyrannous mother out of the house, with her. Moreover he was not the murderer of their child...
