HOUSE OF DREAMS
GOLDEN WINDOWS, by Dulce Carman; Wright and Brown. English price, 8/6. ULCE CARMAN, a New Zealand writer, has had several novels published in London. This new book is a light romance, not very different from hundreds of others which come every spring ‘and autumn from England. The story is built around a family situation which obliges four young people to live in.a neglected house in the country. It is written in the relaxed and slightly careless style cultivated by many women novelists, and exclamation marks are plentiful on every page. The tone is conventional, the characterisation superficial and the setting takes little that is real from the New Zealand counttyside. But it must be judged only as entertainment. It is an unpretentious romance, written to give pleasure to readers; and it follows the formula under competent guidance, even to the fade-out in "the home that was now the House of Dreams Come True."
