About this ebook

Adrift in New York involves the disappearance of a son from the household of his wealthy father, John Linden. The boy has been kidnapped by the villainous Curtis Waring, John Linden's nephew, who hopes to inherit the family fortune. Grown up, the youngster lives a precarious life on the streets of New York. When Linden's ward Florence rejects the unwanted attentions of Waring, she is disinherited, forced to live in a tenement and work in a sweatshop . . . until it is discovered that the young man who befriends her is, in reality, Linden's long-lost son.(Gooodreads)

    For Christmas, I ordered an mp3 player (Library of Classics) that was pre-loaded with 100 works of classic literature in an audio format. Each work is in the public domain and is read by amateurs, so the quality of the presentation is hit or miss. After sampling about a dozen more well-known offerings, I was left to select those with which I was less familiar. That is how I came across Adrift in New York by Horatio Alger.The novel is set in 19th century New York City. It involves a wealthy, older gentleman living with a nephew and niece. The nephew is a dastardly and conniving man, intent upon acquiring the wealth of his uncle. To that end, he had the uncle’s son kidnapped as a small child and seeks to estrange his cousin from the uncle’s affections with an eye toward being his uncle’s sole heir.While this is not a BAD story, it is simple in the extreme, utterly predictable and filled with the most egregious clichés. Two and a half stars at best.
