Lorna Rea was marked down as an author to be watched. This second novel of hers, “Rachel Moon" has certainly not disappointed that interest or anticipation. Instead of, as in her first book, tukimr a more or less artificial de- vice. which, by the way. she handled with delightful ease, and giving us glimpses into the lives of six charac- tors, Miss Rea has done now the man- conventional ind more natural thing of fullowing the development of "ne character, the girl Rachel Moon. By Lorna Rea. N HEDLESS MARTYRDOM. “RACHEL MOON" When the book opens Ruchel is I girl of eighteen, eager, impetuous, ttiven to extremes, determined, with the high fen/or of youth, to not her. self an impossible task and to accom- the high fen/or ot youth, to so! ner- self an impossible task and to accom- plish it. Immediately life gives her ml opportunity for such a task. Her mother is stricken with an illness which lesves her absolutely hopeless and probably unconscious. s breath- ing spell left to drag out four or more long years of living death. Atl' with the impetuosity of her stare and of her youth, (',; rents the challenge. Though there is plenty of money in the family so that the sacrifice is not necessary rhe ties herself day and night to the care of the invalid. She feels that the other members of her family are false de- gtrrterg of the one, whn hos made their lives rich in the post: she becomes, against all medical assurances, a ton- utical believer in her mother's ulti- mate recovery. She meets love in the person of Clive. the young scientist. and in the ,psxes of their friendship and truly But when the great decision comes -bondatte to her life of self-imposed and really fruitless martyrdom, or life and love she chooses the former.

It is misery which mikes the last page: hard to read. Clive goes away, luv- ing Rachel to her burren "eriiiee, her nbstinacy only to be shaken when it is Mo late. In the end we see her what such people must alwnys be, unwanted when her work is done, unappre- cinted, unthanked. Rachel is a diffkult character go portray in such a way as to main. tain our sympathy and her realty, though at moments both falter, in the end she emerges from the. whole .24 part " humanity. Her study is designed to show that in most use: this easy theory is un- just, and that the million who no unemployed even in normal or prov perous times are rather victims of some fittw in our industrial system than any idiosyrterttey of their own natures. There is one chapter It the end of the book describing conditions ( in the “black winter" of 1930, but for ithe rest the book is made up of case histories of unemployment in normal time, a 'study of the psyeholottiett1 ef- feet of unemployment, and its pos- sible remedies. Perticulerly at this time such a book even for the lay reader is per- tinent. Unemployment and its at- tendant bugbear of insecurity. is cer- tainly one of the problems which cep- italist countries must meet in some manner if they are to hold their own I against the growing efficiency of com- .‘ munist Russia. _ Dr, Abbott of the Smithsonian In- ntitmion. who has been studying the variation, in the sun’s heat, believes that in in short time they will be able to forecast. weather conditions months and possibly years in advance. n modern heating plnnt in your home.
