Synopsis

Uneducated Swain and upper-class Julia fall in love and marry. They move to Florida in the 1920s land boom, facing the future with optimism. The inevitable bust forces them to relocate and redefine their lives. Swain is tempted to invest in the Wall Street frenzy, but Julia's cautious nature intervenes. It takes little time for the winds to change. When the market crashes, Julia, with almost no family savings, and Swain, likely to lose his job, face the specter of hard times with infant twins and a toddler. Joe Satterfield's touching novel, That Extravagant Decade?, is a fascinating look back to a time when Americans had to pull together in mutual support and trust; a time when life was difficult, sometimes impossible, when friendships and dogged determination were the glue that kept a country together. The author has created characters with real voices, those who remind us that perseverance, love, and tolerance are the traits that help us through our most difficult times.
