Summary
Editor's review
Who it's for
A good fit for
- Readers who enjoy early twentieth-century English popular fiction and plot-driven stories
- Readers interested in the image of women's professions and gender issues in literature
- Those with English reading ability looking for a free public-domain novel for leisure
- Researchers of popular literature or women's writing who need the original English text
Not a good fit for
- Readers with limited English who need a Chinese translation or detailed notes
- Readers expecting serious analysis of financial history or professional economics
- Readers used to contemporary pacing who lack patience for early popular-fiction style
Reading tips
- Read the opening chapters first to see whether the pacing and English difficulty suit you, then decide whether to read it all or selectively.
- Pay attention to Kate's specific financial decisions and how those around her react; this is often key to understanding her character.
- Keep pen and paper to track character relationships; early popular novels have many figures, and clarity helps you follow the plot.
- After finishing, compare it with other novels of the period with female protagonists to see how professional roles and gender are portrayed differently.

About the author
Charles John Cutcliffe Wright Hyne (1866–1944) was a British novelist best known for adventure and fantasy fiction. Public information about him is limited, and many details of his life remain unknown, yet the six works held in the collection show wide interests and a versatile pen: the imaginative fantasy of The Lost Continent, which envisions an ancient civilization; the sea adventures of Captain Kettle in A Master of Fortune; and the historical romance Prince Rupert, the Buccaneer. He also wrote The Recipe for Diamonds, Through Arctic Lapland, and Kate Meredith, Financier, ranging across exploration and travel, suspense, and the world of business. His narratives move briskly, with twisting plots that combine popular adventure with carefully drawn exotic and historical settings.
