Caffyn, Mrs. Kathleen Mannington (Iota, pseud.). Patricia, a mother. [†]$1.50. Appleton.
Patricia, whose husband, a hypocrite and a humbug, leaves both his son and his estate to the guardianship of his mother, goes to live with her mother-in-law and sees her son slowly estranged from her because she will not speak and blacken the character of her dead husband to the mother who reveres his memory. There is much of gossipy country society and in the end an old family servant sets things right and Patricia comes to her own.
“A most moving story, full of feeling and insight into human character. Certainly it is a story that ‘counts.’”
