Twice Tried

This is a book that makes you think. Yes, you can see a lot of the plot coming, but there are surprises also. The characters are well drawn; it is the tale of Robert Angus, the serious banker's son, and the two times he had to face losing a wife, under the absolute worst of circumstances. It is also the tale of flighty, self-centered Amy and of truehearted, Godly, loving Joan. The family relationships were well drawn and interesting.

The plot reminded me of Mrs. Wood's “East Lynne.”
