False Dawn

by Edith Wharton

Overview

In the 1840s, Lewis Raycie's domineering father sends him to Europe to buy art. When he selects Italian primitives, not yet recognized as masterpieces, his appalled father disinherits him, only to discover, too late, the wisdom of his son's intuition. "There are only three or four American novelists who can be thought of as 'major' - and Edith Wharton is one." - Gore Vidal
