* The Dripping Tamarinds (1933)
** "The first part of ''The Dripping Tamarinds'' passes in Upper Burma where Norman Fendle is assistant commissioner in a small up country station. The war comes and after experience in Mesopotamia where he is wounded, Fendle is in command of an Indian labour company in France. There he meets Ursula Underwick formerly of the English community in Burma, who has become a nurse. The story ends in tragedy. Like other novels by Cecil Lowis, this one is well written. Life in the two regions is skilfully described and there is effective contrast between the incidents and the people and between the moods and the viewpoints of peacetime in Burma and war-time in France".<ref>[http://trove.nla.gov.au/newspaper/article/4756378 "From Burma to France"] ''The Argus'' (Melbourne, Vic) 18 Aug 1933 Page 5 trove.nla.gov.au</ref>
