    About this ebook

    This novel of Virginians in New York City was hailed by the New York Times as "the first important novel of 1906" and compared favorably to Wharton's House of Mirth.  The novel focuses on the struggles of an aspiring young poet, Laura Wilde, but at its true core is Roger Adams, a poignant study in Christ-like self-abnegation.

      The Courage To Be Happy

      Feb 1, 2023

      MARRIAGE and columns have this in common: you tend to repeat yourself. More than once in these pages, I have quoted the New Yorker’s legendary film critic Pauline Kael. After President Nixon’s landslide victory in 1972 she wrote: ‘I live in a rather

      A book about love, although some of the descriptions were beyond me and there were some religious aspects which did not seem to fit in. However, the descriptions of the characters were excellent and believable. Somewhat like Jane Austen, but more detailed descriptions of the characters' feelings and less in the way of a story line. In some ways the book was tedious, yet I was compelled to keep reading-my true test of the worth of a book.
