James Jacques Joseph Tissot, Woman in an Interior
The further adventures of an unscrupulous dentist and the heiresses who attract his interest.
Here, as promised, is the sequel to last week’s novel.
“Miss Braddon’s enlarged experience as a writer of fiction is very discernible in this volume, which is decidedly one of her best, if not the best, she has given to the public. . . . Charlotte’s Inheritance is well written, and contains some excellent character-drawing, unspoiled by exaggeration for mere effect. Even the very repulsive personage, so indispensable to the authoress . . . is not, it is painful to confess, without his probabilities.” Spectator, October 25, 1868
A contrasting view:
It “seems to have been put together for the stage, and with an eye to effects. It is an extremely disagreeable story, and it has nothing to redeem its coarse reality.” Athenaeum, March 21, 1868
