About this book
The Next of Kin, subtitled Those who Wait and Wonder, is by Nellie L. McClung. A section headed HOPE speaks of a picture that has come down through the ages of the woman who weepeth. A character called Alex's mother says "Well-kept homes and hand-knit socks will never save the world".
A speaker says that "we have been wondering what can be done when this war is over to form a league of women to enforce peace". The text says that someone worked happy hours in Mrs. Corbett's garden, and that Stanley's flowers were the admiration of the neighborhood. The text says the heroism of the trenches is coming back to us. The text says there is only one thing more disastrous than a victory, and that is a defeat.
