READABLE NOVELS.—The Transformation of Timothy. By Thomas Cobb. (Mills and
Boon. 6s.)—An amusing story of the struggles of a mother and daughter who are compelled by loss of money to keep a lodging-house in London. The situation is much complicated by the illness of the mother.
Harvest. By V. I. Longman. (Kegan Paul, Trench and Co. 6s.)—This novel contains a study of a girl whose mother was a high-caste native of India. Her troubles, however, seem due more to her extreme folly in marrying one man from pique while she is in love with another than to the mixture of East and West in her parentage.—The Unworthy Pact. By Dorothea Gerard. (Stanley Paul and Co. 6s.)—A modern story told from a purely Roman Catholic point of view, and chiefly concerned with a question of conscience.—Sunset. By Mrs. Donald Shaw. (W. J. Ham-Smith. 6s.) — The Californian scenes in this book are well described, but the main theme of the plot is not very original.
