“His Family” is a 1918 Pulitzer Prize winning story by American author Ernest Poole.
Set in New York City in the 1910s, “His Family” tells the story of widower Roger Gale, who struggles to deal with the way his children and grandchildren respond to the changing society; a sixty-year-old New York man who reflects on his life and the lives of his three daughters. The women represent three separate types – one maternal, the second devoted to social movements, and the third living a happy and carefree existence – and the father sees something of himself in each.
