“There is an exclusively Indian atmosphere about the story which, though dealing with the lives of Europeans, yet is entirely outside that chain of cliques — the society of Anglo-Indian officialdom — which has provided novelists of Eastern life with the bulk of their material heretofore. Miss Perrin, may, therefore, be said to possess a place in fiction peculiarly and enviably her own, which makes one await with pleasure each of her successive volumes.”
~ Review of A Free Solitude from the Bystander, 3 April 1907
