In this monumental 1,136-page omnibus, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Bromfield-one of the great chroniclers of American life between the wars-explores love, ambition, disillusionment, and the eternal search for meaning.
The Green Bay Tree paints a vivid portrait of a community on the cusp of change, where the old world clashes with the new and human frailty shapes destiny.
In Possession, Bromfield examines the dark allure of control-emotional, material, and spiritual-as passion and pride tear at the fabric of family and self.
Early Autumn, his Pulitzer-winning masterpiece, delves into the quiet tragedies and redemptions of a New England family bound by tradition yet yearning for freedom.
And in A Good Woman, he offers a tender yet unflinching portrait of a woman's strength and vulnerability in the face of a world that demands her sacrifice.
Together, these novels form a panoramic exploration of an America in transition-restless, romantic, and forever seeking escape from its own contradictions. For readers who cherish the great realist tradition of Edith Wharton and Willa Cather, this omnibus is both an immersion in Bromfield's artistry and a rediscovery of one of America's most perceptive storytellers.
