Archer faces a harrowing choice between happiness and the social code that has ruled his entire life. The result is a tale of thwarted love filled with irony and surprise, struggle and acceptance. Recipient of the first Pulitzer Prize for fiction ever awarded to a woman, this great novel of manners paints a timeless portrait of "society" still unmatched in American literature—an arbitrary, capricious social elite that professes inviolable standards, but will readily abolish them for money, or abandon them for desire.
