Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This novel is a delightful satire of early 20th-century society. Set in a secluded summer colony of the "best" people, the story follows the arrival of a charming but manipulative playwright, Calvert Lanier, who has been denied membership in this privileged community. Lanier takes revenge by mooring an unsightly barge in front of the colony's Reading Room, with its name "The Broken Word," painted prominently on its side. What follows is a comedy of manners with a cast of pompous and self-righteous characters and a sprinkling of newcomers who question the status quo. The author paints a vivid picture of the clash between traditional values and the changing mores of the time, exploring themes of social hypocrisy, snobbery, and the power of gossip. Ultimately, this book is a reminder of the dangers of exclusivity and the importance of embracing diversity.
