“The familiar drama of the poor relation.... Jane Blythe, a beautiful, high-spirited girl, is flung by fate on the charity of her London relatives.... Baited by her cousin, who is envious of her beauty and insufferably patronized by her aunt and uncle, she ... resolves to put the sea between herself and her blood relatives. The story of Jane’s battle for her rights in her hard environment is told with the real touch of humor.... In the crisis of Jane’s trials the inevitable knight of romance turns up in the person of John Everett, who marries her and takes her back to England.”—Lit. D.
