Library Journal
Released in 1919, five years before the author's death, this novel is among Conrad's lesser-known works. It relates the story of an unnamed Spanish sailor who falls in love with a woman he can never possess. You can never go wrong with Conrad. Copyright 2004 Reed Business Information.
Spectator
"The magical quality of the narrative, the fastidious and unerring distinction of the style, are Conrad at his best."
New York Times
"Doña Rita is only the central figure, not the sole notable figure, in a wonderful group, whose collective impression is that of some splendid, barbaric, yet most delicately and finely wrought example of the jeweler's art."
