E. M. Forster to Hugh Walpole, 19 July 1908: 'I can say without preamble that it's good -- the theme is ample and fills the book properly, the development holds one [...] The interest does persist to the very end. I did put the book down, because I went to bed, but I finished it first thing in the morning. You ought to get it taken all right [comments further]'.
