Grantham Journal: Saturday 30th May 1896

“No Place for Repentance” is the title of Mr. T. Fisher Unwin’s second volume in the “Little Novels” series – a daring experiment in sixpenny novels. The writer of the story is Ellen F. Pinsent, and it will interest many of our readers especially as the scene is in Lincolnshire, and the racy dialect of the district is liberally used. But readers generally will read the story with a sympathetic thrill, for it is one of the best temperance novels that has been written, depicting in homely but almost dramatic simplicity the temptations of two men in a village, the curate and the farm bailiff, now the one did save the other, but himself he could not save. It is a book to make one week, and pray, and hope and weep again.
