Reviews

The Oklahoma Tribune, 1922:

The story of a conflict between love and honor in "The Moon out of Reach," a romantic novel somewhat off the beaten path and from tho pen of Margaret Pedler.

Mrs. Pedler has written a number of excellent novels, notably "The Splendid Folly," "The Lamp of Fate," "The Hermit of Far End" and "The House of Dreams Come True," and if the present offering seems a little below Mrs. Pedler's standard it is because this standard has been set so high.

"The Moon Out of Reach" deals with the story of Nan Davenant who has three lovers at different periods in her career. The true mate roams along with her in these affairs which concern him vitally and it is not until the end that the matter is settled.

The book specializes in fine character drawing, that of Nan being an unusual piece of work. A dramatic incident of exceptional worth is the renunciation of Nan by Roger Trenby, to whom her troth has been plighted and who has been maimed for life in an accident.

There is dramatic power in "The Moon Out of Reach," romance and pathos, the latter being furnished by the return of Peter Mallory's wife and her departure.
