Summary
The Middle Sister: Kesto, a boy of fourteen left an orphan by his mother's death, is sent to live in the well-off house of his half-sister, where he is overworked and beaten and finds one person to be kind to him, the 'middle sister' of the title. Sarat Chandra's novella of 1915 is a story of a household and of a child's loyalty to a woman who is not his mother. This book uses the racial and other slurs of its period as written; the Book Guide explains these words where they occur.
