"I am deeply interested in India, in the people and their religions, and histories and social systems, and as I was sixteen years in the country I had an opportunity of receiving lasting impressions, and of gaining invaluable experience."
~ Alice Perrin
"Miss Perrin seems to possess remarkable knowledge of the region and the people of whom she writes, and, in particular, her comprehension of the psychology of the Eurasian is apparently the result of much observation and thought. Not even Kipling has written more convincingly, though with more vigor and picturesqueness, of the heart and the soul of that queer product of the meeting of West and East."
~ Review of The Charm from The New York Times, 22 October 1911
