Description

This heroic tale is as human and appealing as 'Tess of the D'Urbervilles.' Janet is a noble woman of the open country, keeping her two wild-natured brothers straight by her love for them and making her great self-sacrifice for a man unable to appreciate her. Janet is own sister to the finest heroines of Thomas Hardy. Freedom is in every breath she draws, but fate subdues her, and it does her brother Nigel, and turns each of them finally to greater aims than they had dreamed of. Unquestionably a book of real power. "Her story is written with such sincerity of feeling and appreciation of moral beauty and contains so much human truth that the author deserves warm commendation. For she...has given it also dramatic moments and strong emotional tension....An achievement worthwhile." -The New York Times "One of the most interesting pieces of serious fiction brought out this fall is 'The Three Furlongers.' An expert intermingling with incident, dramatic and emotional, with the actual expression of ideals and motives." -Springfield Homestead "In England, Miss Kaye-Smith's books have attracted the attention of all critical readers of the most recent fiction....An author of undeniable gifts....Her first novel...has the touch of the artist combined with the force of the realist, and it works out the destinies of a peculiar family to a rather unhappy but undoubtedly logical conclusion. The three Furlongers are a sister and two brothers. All three have unhappy love stories. And each of the three deceives the other two in regard to his and her own affairs. One brother, the younger, had served a prison term, and it is really this which has placed the family on the downhill road. But there is a quality in all of them that is impressive, and that reaches the sympathies and the heart. For the Furlongers have learned the wonderful lesson of being big instead of small, and of taking the world as it comes and making the best of things." -The Book News Monthly "It is always a great pleasure to discover a new writer of promise, especially one of such originality and power as Miss Sheila Kaye-Smith, whose novel, 'The Three Furlongers,' published in England under the title of 'Three Against the World,' is to be issued in the United States this autumn. Miss Kaye-Smith is already well known in England, where her two earlier books, 'Starbrace,' and 'Isle of Thorns,' have attracted much attention from the critics. She is a careful and conscientious writer, using the natural setting of her story to heighten the drama of the characters somewhat as Thomas Hardy does....If one can judge from the opinions of good critics, 'The Three Furlongers' should soon make its author a welcome visitor on this side of the Atlantic." -Lippincott's Monthly Magazine "Her name is plain Janet and it is the story of her love for her two wild-natured brothers and of her great self-sacrifice for a man unable to appreciate her." -Publishers Weekly
