| Summary | "Her Husband's Purse" by Helen Reimensnyder Martin is a novel written in the early 20th century. Set in the fictional Pennsylvania town of New Munich, it delves into the intricacies of social dynamics, familial relationships, and societal expectations through the lens of Daniel Leitzel, a wealthy bachelor, and his controlling sisters, Jennie and Sadie. The story explores themes of love, approval, and the true cost of wealth as the sisters grapple with Daniel's unexpected engagement to a Southern woman named Margaret. The opening of the narrative introduces the sudden and shocking betrothal of Daniel Leitzel, which sends ripples of disbelief and concern through his two spinster sisters. As they react to the news, their conversations reveal their deep-rooted ambitions, possessiveness, and anxieties about a stranger marrying into their wealthy family. Their concern revolves around maintaining control over Daniel's fortune and the correct social standing that such a marriage might challenge. Through sharp dialogue and character exploration, the reader is drawn into a world where money and social perception dictate relationships, setting the stage for the unfolding drama surrounding marriage and family loyalty.
