Broken Barriers

By MEREDITH NICHOLSON

"The technique of the book shows Mr. Nicholson at the height of his power. It is an admirably planned and steadily executed plot, orderly, logical... dramatic. The girl, Grace, is a finely drawn specimen of up-to-date young womanhood.... The book also shows Mr. Nicholson's great skill in character drawing in its treatment of the lesser people. In the portrait of the heroine's elder sister, Ethel, there is the malicious emphasis of the artist who knows how to stop just short of caricature. . . . The old father is wonderfully well done. . The secondary hero also has a finely human quality about him.' -Literary Review, New York Evening Post. $2.00
