Mother

By Owen Wister

Book Overview

""Mother"" is a novel written by Owen Wister, originally published in 1929. The story is set in the American West and follows the life of a young man named Jack Kells, who becomes involved with a band of outlaws led by a woman known only as ""Mother."" As Jack becomes more deeply involved with the gang, he begins to question his loyalty to them and his own moral code. Along the way, he meets and falls in love with a young woman named Joan, who becomes a source of conflict between Jack and Mother. The novel explores themes of loyalty, morality, and the struggle between good and evil. It is a classic Western novel that has been praised for its vivid descriptions of the American West and its characters.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.
