Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book begins with a preface by the author that provides a dedication to a prominent statesman, jurist, and philosopher. The dedication includes a note of admiration and respect for the dedicatee. The author also includes a note for the reader explaining that the book's publication had to be postponed due to the start of the first World War, and that the book is being published with the aim of providing comfort to those who have lost their homes during the conflict. The novel that follows the dedication is set in the early 20th century New England high society and revolves around a group of characters who socialize and gossip on the verandah of a country club. The story's focus is on a central figure around whom the bulk of the gossip centers and who elicits strong opinions from the different characters in the story. This book explores themes such as the clash between tradition and modernity, the power of gossip, and the role of women in society. The author provides a rich cast of characters with varying opinions and perspectives to create a complex and nuanced story.
