'8th January 1929 ?Beyond? is a charming book. Sad both in its story and in the writer?s outlook, it is yet most delightful reading, and a most beautiful argument. It is a story of love and marriage, that has but few bright spots in the actual events of the narrative, and yet would make anyone long to love in the heroic, ?int?grale? manner of its heroine. To be either the subject or the object of such a passion would make a full life, with reference to the years of its duration.'
