A review from "The Saturday Review of Politics, Literature, Science and Art" - Oct. 30, 1886:
NEAERA [by John W. Graham: Macmillan, 1886.] "is as good a story as it often falls to one's lot to find. The interest grows somewhat gradually at first, but increases constantly as the story progresses, and is multiplied by the interweaving of new threads and the occurrence of startling incidents. There is a haughty, wayward dame, who loves in vain, and indulges in many outbursts of rage, jealousy, and other passions. The heroine is the long-lost granddaughter of a venerable patrician, whose 15 years' search for his missing descendant comes to a happy conclusion at the same time as the love affair of the young lady.
As a picture of Roman life the book is really valuable. The actual appearance of the streets and houses, and of the enchanted isle of Capri, are truthfully and picturesquely described. A supper with Apicius, the rides of an Imperial courier, the expedition of a great lady in her litter, are vividly and minutely set before us."
