Amory is seventeen when the novel opens, a girl with a red-bronze plait, an artist’s ambition and a firm belief in the new century’s freedoms. The first book follows a very modern courtship among her circle of young idealists, the second a very modern marriage, as she tries to keep her art and her principles alive within it.
A long, thoughtful novel of ideas about women and marriage by the writer better remembered for his ghost stories. Download the free EPUB.
