“A Question of Identity” takes its title from the resemblance of girl twins to each other,—a resemblance so strong that a lover of Rachel offered himself to Leah, calling her his beautiful Rachel. It is a story of New England life, with strong characterization and intense dramatic incidents which give coloring to the impression that it is very real. The locality might be a half-hour’s ride from Boston by rail. A YEAR IN EDEN. Part I. Spring; Part II. Summer; Part III. Autumn; Part IV. Winter. By HARRIET WATERS PRESTON. 12mo.
