The Kanter Girls is a novel written by Mary Lydia Bolles Branch and published in 1895. The story follows the lives of three sisters, Hilda, Ruth, and Fanny Kanter, who live in a small New England town. The sisters are all very different from one another, with Hilda being the responsible and practical one, Ruth being the artistic and dreamy one, and Fanny being the spoiled and impulsive one. The novel explores their relationships with each other, as well as their relationships with the men in their lives. Hilda is engaged to a sensible but somewhat dull man named John, while Ruth falls in love with a charming but unreliable artist named Philip. Fanny, meanwhile, flirts with various men but ultimately falls for a wealthy and sophisticated lawyer named Arthur. As the sisters navigate their various romantic entanglements, they also face challenges in their personal lives. Hilda struggles to balance her responsibilities as a caregiver for their aging father with her desire to start a family with John. Ruth must decide whether to pursue her artistic passions or settle down with Philip, who may not be able to provide her with the stability she craves. And Fanny must learn to grow up and take responsibility for her actions, even as she enjoys the attention of multiple suitors. Throughout the novel, the sisters learn important lessons about love, family, and the importance of staying true to oneself. The Kanter Girls is a charming and engaging story that offers a glimpse into the lives of three very different women in turn-of-the-century America.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
