Review of a Novel The Christina and Augusta Characters
The critique praises delineation of Miss Augusta and Christina in early scenes while calling the Christina heroine a failure overall. It argues the motive for Christina’s actions is insufficient and the Cleasbys seem to change with circumstances. The reviewer notes strong prose but insufficient dramatic conviction and wishes for greater subsequent effort from the author.
