Overview

FAMILY PRIDE...ALSO TITLED "PURIFIED BY SUFFERING". 485 PAGES IN PAPERBACK. A COMPLEX NOVEL WITH TWISTS AND TURNS....A REALLY GOOD READ AS SUGGESTED BY THE SUB-TITLE!

• This volume includes a “Detailed Biography” of our author, Mary Jane Holmes.

The story begins with two sisters, one of whom has been allowed to live a bit above her means by a weak and foolish mother. This slip allows her to come into the orbit of a rich and elegant bachelor (Wilfred) who is determined to marry her despite her poor family. So far, so good. Her lover is no hero, however, but calms his (and his mother's) family pride by strictly controlling his young bride and cutting her off from her family. In the meantime, one of his friends is falling for the other sister nearly because of her humble strengths.

There's a lot more to it than that. Mixed into the narrative is a man who has always loved the pretty sister from a distance, tragic deaths, the ethics of divorce and the Civil War. Although the war between the states plays a role in quite a few of Holmes' works, this was the first book in which I felt that it was a major plot point instead of background.
