THE WHITE PEACOCK

“A book of real distinction both of style and thought. Many of the descriptivepassages have an almost lyrical charm and the characterisation is generallyspeaking deft and life-like. ‘The White Peacock’ is a book not only worthreading but worth reckoning with, for we are inclined to think the author hascome to stay.”—The Morning Post.

“That it has elements of greatness few will deny. Mr. Heinemann is, once again,to be congratulated on a writer of promise.”—The Observer.
