Reception

The New York Times wrote "The story he has to tell is an exotic and at times a too erotic one, but underneath it lies a consciousness of a very real problem which the author has not shirked but whose implications he has striven to bring out in fiction."
Kirkus wrote "a not particularly important book, rather artificial, colorful, romantic and unconvincing in its plot."
The Herald called it "rich in Closely observed, picturesque detail and clever characterisation."
