...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...
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 book, written in an extraordinarily vivid style, too pointed for extended novel-writing...

Replying in her defense Authoress Stern asked him to come and see her; three months later they married. Now she lives in a lofty villa at Diano Marina, Italy, surrounded by wolf dogs and olive trees. There she and her friends go about in shorts, blouse and sandals; at night she retires up a ladder into...
...latest novel Authoress Baum, a literary midwife adept at helping her characters give birth to what she intimates are their souls, turns in a good job of soul-saving midwifery. Only after her hero has gone through highly sensational throes does she ease him with a dose of religio-romantic twilight sleep. The tale of his agonizings, told with a dramatic flair, will make a better movie than it does a book, as was probably intended...
