In the years following the first World War, however, change was in the air, with numerous nouveaux-riches pretenders challenging the privileged family's position as an arbiter of values and class. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eStrong-willed Olivia Pentland-wife of Anson, the cold and distant heir to the family fortune-endures a tedious life largely devoid of joy or passion. Trapped in a stifling marriage, Olivia must examine her conscience and choose between the sudden thrill and lure of new love and the heavy tug of traditional family duty. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eAn extravagant debutante party at the Pentland estate for next-generation Sybil and Sabine opens a dramatic window into the façade the family maintains and becomes a catalyst for fracturing the perquisites they've all grown accustomed to. In the weeks that follow, relationships are tested, decorum and privilege challenged, and several carefully guarded family secrets unearthed in a cascading series of events which irrevocably upends their lives.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWinner of the 1927 Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, Louis Bromfield's witty and satirical epic evokes a keen insight into human nature and a powerful appreciation of the natural world. In unmasking the rigid and puritanical, class-based New England mores as the veneer to a lifestyle with little meaning, Bromfield sets the stage for a wholly new social contract.
