Mrs. Hume Pinsent: Author of “No Place for Repentance.” A Book called “Jenny’s Case” brought the name of Mrs. Pinsent some few years ago into the list of novelists. It was a story of disaster to man and maid, disaster that we realized from the opening of the tale to be predestined. The story held us by its intensity, for there was scarcely an idle page in it. What remained after the excitement of the tragedy had passed from the mind was a vivid sense of what life means to the English rustic, especially in such an un-exhilarating part of the country as Lincolnshire. … (continues) …

Fiction: 4) No Place for Repentance: By Ellen F. Pinsent, Unwin: … … 4. Mrs. Pinsent, in marked contrast to the other contributors to Mr. Unwin’s Little Novels’ series, whose works have come under our notice, shows in her book “No Place for Repentance” how much a clever writer can do with twenty thousand words. The story which she has to tell is a simple, straightforward one enough, but we cannot speak too highly of her manner of telling it. Those readers who are in the habit of watching the market of current fiction may remember Mrs. Pinsent as the writer of that very powerful, though very painful, novel, Jenny’s Case. No Place for Repentance is an equally powerful story and an equally painful one, but it is, if anything, even better handled. It is a grim tale of a young clergyman, of a highly strung, nervous organization, who has fallen victim to alcoholism. When the story opens, he has come down as curate to a village in the Fen-country where drunkenness is rife and has set himself to work, by the sheer force of his religious fervour, to put a stop to this particular vice, hoping that, while he is thus saving others, he will be able to save himself. The experiment fails. The burly farm labourer, Bell, under his influence, is able to throw off the habit, but the excitable, over strung priest succumbs to it again. Such a story must necessarily be a sad one, but the theme is interesting and it is very ably worked out by Mrs. Pinsent, who has the advantage of knowing intimately the Fen country about which she is writing. The only fault which we are inclined to find with the book is the large amount of dialect which it contains. Dialect is always a dangerous weapon in the hands of the novelist. Sparingly used it is undeniably effective, but too much of it is apt to make the task of reading wearisome. “I reckon as they’d ha’ been fetchin’ each oother great sallups in another minute,” etc. is doubtless intelligible enough, but it does not look inviting to the eye of the reader who picks up a novel for an idle half hour. But this, after all, is only a small fault, and the book, as a whole, is so good that we confidently recommend everyone who meets with it to read it. …

The first two volumes of T. Fisher Unwin’s “Little Novels” have come to hand and, judging by these, the series will, I should think, be exceedingly popular. “The World is Round,” by Louise Mack, and “No Place for Repentance,” by Ellen F. Pinsent are capital novelettes, the former especially, well printed in a quite new sort of type, a comfortable size to hold, and exceedingly cheap being only sixpence each.
