About this audiobook
Mary Roberts Rinehart's Tish gathers the comic exploits of Letitia "Tish" Carberry, a formidable unmarried woman whose schemes sweep her loyal companions, Aggie and Lizzie, into motoring escapades, wartime enthusiasms, amateur detection, and philanthropic misadventure. Written in brisk, episodic prose and narrated with affectionate irony, the book belongs to the Progressive Era tradition of American magazine humor, while quietly unsettling conventions about female age, respectability, and domestic passivity. Rinehart, born in Pittsburgh in 1876, trained as a nurse before turning to fiction to support her family, and her practical knowledge of crisis, institutions, and social performance informs even her lightest comedy. Already celebrated for mysteries such as The Circular Staircase, she brought to Tish the same gift for suspense and timing, but redirected it toward farce and character-driven rebellion. Her professional independence helps explain Tish's appetite for action. This volume is recommended for readers interested in early twentieth-century women's writing, comic adventure, or the intersection of popular fiction and social critique. It offers pleasures of plot and wit while rewarding attention to gender, class, and American modernity's everyday absurdities.
