Produced by Suzanne Shell and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "The Return of the Prodigal" by May Sinclair is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around the character Stephen K. Lepper, who has spent 15 years in America and is returning to England to reunite with his mother and two sisters, whom he hasn't seen in a long time. The narrative hints at themes of redemption, familial ties, and the complexities of identity as Stephen grapples with his past and the expectations of his family. At the start of the novel, we meet Stephen Lepper as he travels from Liverpool to Little Sutton. Through his interactions with a fellow passenger, the clergyman, we learn about his life in America and the success he has achieved in the pork-packing industry, contrary to the perceptions that others may have of him based on his arrival announcement. The opening explores Stephen's internal conflicts and reflections as he anticipates his homecoming, revealing not only his excitement but also a sense of apprehension about how he will be received by his family and what they will make of his transformation from a wayward youth into a wealthy man. The stage is set for a poignant exploration of return, belonging, and the profound changes that time can bring.
