Ernest Poole (1880-1950) was an American novelist. He was born in Chicago, Illinois and graduated from Princeton University in 1902. He worked as a journalist and was active in promoting social reforms including the ending of child labor. He was a correspondent for The Saturday Evening Post in Europe before and during World War I. His novel The Harbor has remained the work for which he is best known. It presents a strong socialist message, set in the industrial Brooklyn waterfront. It is considered one of the first fictional works to offer a positive view of unions. His portrait of a New York family titled His Family made him the first recipient of the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1918. In 1917, for The New Republic magazine he went to Russia to report on the Russian Revolution. His other works include: The Voice of the Street (1906), His Second Wife (1918), The Dark People (1918), Blind (1920), Beggars' Gold (1921), Millions (1922), Danger (1923), The Avalanche (1924), The Hunter's Moon (1925), With Eastern Eyes (1926) and Silent Storms (1927).

Great for Your Book Group By Spencer Reppe "My dear, it's not what you say that interests men, it's how you look and what you have on...You need just one thing, money. And you can't do anything about that, you have to wait for your husband."—thirty-one year old Amy Lanier to twenty-two year old sister Ethel Knight.This interesting quote very early in His Second Wife pretty well focuses on the main point of the novel. Set in upper middle class early 20th Century New York City it also features second wives, feminism, absence of God, materialism versus idealism, the large city, servants, children, multiple marriages, "round robin" letters, summers at the seashore, private detectives, Paris, and the importance of friends. Like The Harbor and His Family, there is a missing woman who is both wife and mother, resulting in a very paternalistic family structure. The opening quote pretty well reinforces this idea.Emily at the age of twenty-two is forced by the death of her father to move from a small town southern Ohio environment to New York City to live with sister Amy and her husband Joe. We see a clash between two sisters who have quite different views of wealth and idealism and how to attain them. The oppressiveness of the city makes accomplishment of either goal difficult. And very soon Ethel finds herself married—to a recently widowed man. Being a second wife brings enough problems that Ethel must deal with, but soon many other struggles come crashing down on her. She is facing all of this alone in the large city. Not only does she need resolutions to the challenges, but more than anything she needs a friend. And she needs to learn how to "fit in" with a city that is not often kind to strangers.Though set in 1918-1920 there is no mention of the Great War, Prohibition, or the 19th Amendment, though there is a passing nod to the suffrage movement. In this sense, the novel could be considered quite timeless, as many of the issues that rise in the novel are still relevant today.

He draws richly detailed characters and brings you in close to them, listening to their very thoughts as they speak and move. These intimate portraits make for satisfying reading, a welcome change from hyper-action modern fare.
