Description
Long enough to develop complex characters, yet concise enough for unity of effect, the “beautiful and blessed nouvelle” — as Henry James called it — seems capable of rare artistic perfection. And one of its most perfect examples is Janet Lewis’s “The Wife of Martin Guerre.”
(from a review in Washington Post Newspaper. The novel was published in 1941)
