Books with author Winston 1871-1947 Churchill

In this realistic portrayal of poor labor conditions and the strikers’ fury, Winston Churchill, the American author, writes about labor unrest in a Massachusetts mill town. The novel revolves around the Bumpus family: Edward and Hannah and their daughters, Janet and Lise. Each family member takes up a different hobby, such as researching the Bumpus genealogy, cooking and cleaning, in an attempt to cope with their social situation. After Edward and Hannah move from a house to a flat, they, and later their daughters, must learn to adjust to life as part of the working class. Unlike other families, Janet and Lise work to help support their family. Janet works as a stenographer at the mill and soon gets caught up in the strike. Lise finds her own troubles and discovers her desires as she works at the Bagatelle. Edward and Hannah struggle with the transition to modern times as their daughters become integrated in it. Churchill captures Edward and Hannah’s marriage while also revealing the courting of Janet and Lise. Complications grow as Janet finds love with the agent of the mill, Mr. Ditmar, but later joins the strike. After sympathizing with the strikers, Janet is pushed to the limit in her relationship with Mr. Ditmar and later comes to self-realization.

With few exceptions, the incidents recorded in these pages take place in one of the largest cities of the United States of America, and of that portion called Middle West, a city once conservative and provincial, and rather proud of these qualities; but now outgrown them, and linked by lightning limited trains to other teeming centers of the modern world: a city overtaken, in recent years, by the plague which has swept our country from the Atlantic to the Pacific - prosperity.Life had indeed become complicated, paradoxical. He, John Hodder, a clergyman, rector of St. John's by virtue of not having resigned, had entered a restaurant of ill repute, had ordered champagne for an abandoned woman, and had no sense of sin when he awoke the next morning! The devil, in the language of orthodox theology, had led him there. He had fallen under the influence of the tempter of his youth, and all in him save the carnal had been blotted out.Includes a biography of the Author
