- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This was a book club selection. I probably wouldn't have read it otherwise. This was written in 1914 and it was a little difficult to get around the stereotypes of that time. With some eye rolling on my part I did finish it and really enjoyed the landscape and story. There were editorial gaps in his stories timeline and possibilities of the characters abilities to get things done in the time allotted.
- Rating: 5 out of 5 stars5/5later the words "a romance" was added to the title (circa 1942). well it should be. call me a fuddy-duddy, but i still thrill to the non-physical descriptions of romance mr. grey gives us with the hero gene stewart and heroine margaret "majesty" hammond. it makes me eager to tackle another grey novel.
