G. B. Stern returns to the Rakonitz family in a novel about authority, independence and the ties that hold a large family together. Toni’s marriage and her place within the family bring competing expectations into focus as younger people test the influence of their elders.
The five parts move from the apparent ease of family life toward disputes over leadership, possessions and the right to arrange other people’s futures. Stern combines domestic comedy with the pressures of loyalty and personal choice. This complete 1926 novel preserves its original sequence of parts and chapters.
