Product Description:
He was thinking of the town he had known. Not of old New Yorkâhe had heard of that from old, old men when he himself had still been young and had smiled at their garrulity. He was thinking of a young New York, the mighty throbbing city to which he had come long ago as a lad from the New Hampshire mountains.

One of my favorite Pulitzer winning pieces of fiction. The story of a late, middle-aged man who lives in NYC and maintains the family farm in New Hampshire.

"His Family" by Ernest Poole was published in 1917 and became the first novel to win the Pulitzer Prize in 1918.

Roger is a widower with three adult daughters, each representing a different cultural norm of the time. First there is Edith, the eldest. She lives apart from Roger with her husband and five children. She represents the traditional values of family living of the time. Next, is Deborah a woman dedicated to the poor and unfortunates of the time, a social ... Read More

Ernest Poole's 'His Family' focuses on the latter year's of Roger Gale's life as he attempts to pursue his wife's dying wish: for him to live on in their children's lives. The children, three daughters (Edith, Deborah, and Laura), encompassed three different lives which Roger valiantly tried to embrace. Edith- committed to a family life with room only for her children. Deborah- committed to public service and the 'tenement children' in need of schooling. And Laura- committed to the "new world" and the ... Read More
