ReceptionThe New York Times described The White Cockatoo as overly convoluted. The reviewer lamented the fact that Sarah Keate, the primary character of Eberhart's previous few books, did not make an appearance: "It might have been better if she had."[2] In a private letter to Fanny Butcher, Gertrude Stein reported that she was reading The White Cockatoo and was impressed by Eberhart's "xtraordinary" writing skill.[3] References1. ^[https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/3015084-the-white-cockatoo?from_search=true Goodreads].
