Reviews
edit- The Delineator, June 1923: In Wrostella's Weird Helen Mathers has given us a novel that is decidedly above the average, though constructed of materials that are not usually fusible. The weird is not a weird at all, and the French girl, who at the beginning of the story marries a chivalrous, generous and hot-tempered Irish gentleman, is more like an Irish lass than a Parisian belle, and is a finer, more courageous and more winsomely capricious woman than one would expect to find in a tale with so forbidding a title. If the romance is somewhat too vividly colored here and there, its high lights are easily tolerated because they are laid on so prettily.
- The Art Amateur, June 1893: Wrostella's Weird, by Helen Mathers, will serve to furnish an hour's diversion of a moderately exciting nature. Terry Fitzgerald, a blue-eyed young Irishman, has fallen heir to Wrostella Castle, a bleak and lonely retreat by the sea. According to the terms of the will by which he inherited the castle, the owner must live there at least four months in the year. Thither Fitzgerald brings his fascinating Parisian bride to pass the honeymoon. Some grewsome experiences follow, which even the presence of a French cook can hardly alleviate. The husband suddenly leaves home; jealousy creeps in on both sides, and there is a suspicion of possible murder. However, let us hasten to intimate that the curtain falls on an edifying scene of reconciliation, with bright prospects of future felicity.
