A Spirit in Prison by Robert Hichens reviewed
The review finds A Spirit in Prison indecisive and verbose with Hermione Delarey and her daughter at its center. It contrasts with The Garden of Allah noting dull handling of Ruffo and Delarey’s daughter and questions Hichens’s restraint and vitality in handling the melodrama. Hilary on Her Own and Amédee's Son receive lighter, favorable mentions.
