From the New York Times review, October 31, 1920 : "THE publication of In Morocco, by Mrs. Wharton, is practically simultaneous with that of her most recent novel, The Age of Innocence. Both of these books add security to their author's position as one of the foremost contemporary writers of English prose. The one reveals her at her best as a constructive novelist : the other proves once more her exceptional power in translating color, line and form into the perfect verbal equivalents".
