THE REAPER

By EDITH RICKERT


"So impressive are Miss Rickert's accounts of the Shetland character, so vivid her pictures of their alternating happy and sordid lives, so faithful her study of the racial and personal influences that move them, that we may accept The Reaper as one of the notable books of the season. It is something more than fiction—it gives a realistic, poetic, imaginative view of a wonderful and curious people." Boston Transcript

"A powerful story, fresh, vivid, and of unusual character and tone." Chicago Record-Herald,
