About this book
In Mio's Youth
Author: Jane Barlow (1856-1917)
Year: 1917
"Published posthumously. A domestic story in which the personages are drawn from the county family class. The Delaney family is in reduced circumstances, the father striving to keep the wolf from the door; the sons a happy-go-lucky, lazy, pleasant lot; the mother and daughters aiming at respectability and good matches. Mio, a sensitive, imaginative, refined child, is Captain D.'s adopted daughter. There are many subsidiary characters, and the plot is loose yet complicated- An element of pathos is introduced when the Captain, who has become blind, acts as tutor to his son, who does not know him, having been separated from him, in early youth. Little or nothing about the peasantry."
