Carey, Rosa Nouchette. No friend like a sister. †$1.50. Lippincott.
Sister Gresham, the strong, capable, contented woman, who establishes a model nurses’ home and finds her life’s happiness in it is a friend to the other characters in the book, in times of stress or trouble. They all lean upon her; her favorite sister Eleanor, who is made happy by the chance confession of the man who dares not aspire to her, her brother Lyall who goes as a missionary to Africa, and his child-like wife who refuses to go with him and later wakes to a realization of her love and duty. There are other characters also, some of whom stand alone, and there is another love affair in which the daughter of an old country family throws aside conventional barriers to marry the man of her choice.
“Her popularity is no doubt deservedly due in great part to the extreme wholesomeness of her tone, which makes her stories eminently suitable for the young girl, and also a love of detail which appeals to a certain order of mind in old and young alike.”
