Family romance and tragedy. Ivan Petrovich runs away from home after a serious beating from his father. His departure causes estrangement between husband and wife. Ivan returns years later with riches from Australia - but his mother fails to recognise him and nearly kills him at their inn in order to get his gold for her daughter who cannot marry the man she loves without money. She dies of shock when she discovers his identity and believes she has murdered him - but he recovers. Father alone knows the terrible truth. Familiar plot with some additions; Australian-Russian connection is new. Competent. (PB)
