About this book

Adam Johnstone's Son is a book by F. Marion Crawford. In the first chapter Mrs. Bowring says that she sometimes thinks one's past life is written in a foreign language. The text says Mrs. Bowring had been beautiful in her youth, far more beautiful than Clare, but that her face had been weaker.

The text places mother and daughter side by side where they had sat every day for a week or more, and says it was not the first time that they had been in Amalfi. A character named Brook, rubbing a mule's nose, says the mule can't draw the load and the carter can't be allowed to beat the mule. A character asks how a woman can love a man and hate him at the same time.
