Mother

""Mother"" is a novel written by Owen Wister that explores the complex relationship between a mother and her son. The story is set in the late 19th century and follows the life of a wealthy widow named Mrs. Gertrude Madison and her son, Jack. Mrs. Madison is a strong-willed woman who has dedicated her life to raising her son and ensuring his success in life. Jack, on the other hand, is a carefree young man who enjoys his freedom and is reluctant to settle down.As the story unfolds, Mrs. Madison becomes increasingly concerned about Jack's lifestyle and his lack of ambition. She tries to steer him towards a more responsible path, but her efforts are met with resistance. Jack eventually falls in love with a woman named Molly, who Mrs. Madison disapproves of. This leads to a conflict between mother and son, with both parties struggling to reconcile their differences.Throughout the novel, Wister explores themes of love, family, and the struggle between tradition and modernity. He also delves into the psychology of mother-son relationships and the complexities that arise when two strong-willed individuals clash. ""Mother"" is a thought-provoking and emotional novel that offers a unique perspective on the timeless bond between a mother and her child.It was for this reason that we all yearned in our middle-aged way for the tale of love which we expected from young Richard. He, on his part, repeated the hope that by the time his turn to tell a story was reached we should be tired of stories and prefer to spend the evening at the card tables or in the music room.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
