Hudson River Bracketed

by Edith Wharton

Overview

An aspiring writer from the Midwest finds inspiration and heartache in New York's Hudson Valley in this classic novel by the author of The House of Mirth.

 It's the early 1920s, a time when all of America seems to be hurtling toward transformation. Vance Weston, a young man from Euphoria, Illinois, decamps for New York with grand ambitions of becoming an author. There he meets Halo Spear, a remarkable young woman who introduces Vance to great writers of the past.

When they meet again years later, Halo and her wealthy husband, Lewis, introduce Vance to New York's exclusive literary and artistic circles. Caught in an unhappy marriage that is preventing him from pursuing his craft, Vance finally manages to write the novel that makes his name, only to discover success is hardly the answer to life's dilemmas.
