4.0 out of 5 stars
Boston novel of manners,
By Bomojaz (South Central PA, USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Chippendales (Hardcover)
This is a "society" novel set in Boston near the turn of the (20th) century. Hugh Blaisdale imagines he loves Priscilla Avery, but she sees through his insincerity and rejects him. He marries another and when she dies, the question is now will he get Priscilla? The answer is still "no," when she marries the idealistic and much more honest Henry Sumner. A pretty good novel, despite some silly scenes (much ado about nothing). Also the satire is fairly mild where it could have been much sharper. Grant is a good "old-fashioned" writer, though.
