About the work

The LibriVox catalogue summary, preserved with the recording, reads:

LibriVox recording of Prodigal Daughters by Joseph Hocking. Read in English by Kate Follis. A frank look at the revolt of the younger generation following World War I, the book follows the Trelawney family. The father looks eagerly forward to his return home after serving an important but harrowing stint in the army. What he finds at home is not what he expects, as his two daughters test the boundaries of new morals, ethics, and dress. Many of the generational and class issues central to the theme continue to resonate in families and society. The book was made into a silent movie starring Gloria Swanson in 1923. Summary by Kate Follis.
