About This Book

A one-act stage piece centers on a widowed household head determined to arrange his daughter's marriage and to keep labor politics out of his home. Scenes hinge on newspapers, letters, and a contentious workers' paper as generational and ideological tensions emerge: the daughter is drawn to a young man involved with the workers' circle while an older suitor aligns with her father's plans. Household staff and neighbors add friction and humor, and the action unfolds through domestic disputes that mix personal longing with public debate.
