Early autumn

This 1927 Pulitzer Prize winner is a richly crafted character study of an old New England family at the end of its influence and name-carrying tradition. Olivia Pentland is trapped in a loveless marriage to Anson Pentland, the self-absorbed authority on Pentland family history. Languishing in the home is frail Jack Pentland, the fifteen year-old heir to the family name and fortune. Isolated in a far wing upstairs is "her" the nameless and addled wife of old John Pentland, the reigning monarch of the family. She alone is privey to a family secret which if known would uproot the Pentland family tree. Other characters are interwoven into this tale of anguish and of loves both lost and found. A real treat for the serious reader of American literature. --Jerry Kelley at Amazon.com.

  • "Une famille riche et respectée de la Nouvelle-Angleterre au début du XXe siècle dont on découvrira qu'elle fonde sa légende sur le mensonge et l'intimidation. Olivia est devenue une Pentland, mais refuse que sa fille la suive dans la voie des abdications. L'arrivée d'une parente venue pour se venger remettra en cause les calculs de chacun. Bromfield tire son récit vers une violence feutrée."
  • "Sabine Callendar had fled from the stifling propriety of Durham, New England twenty years ago. With a failed marriage behind her and an eighteen year old daughter to present to society, everyone is surprised to find that Sabine has returned, not as the pitiable and broken creature they expected, but as a strong and assured individual with an uncanny ability to see through the postures and pretenses of the society that oppressed her as a girl. With her bold independence and forthright nature, Sabine challenges the social order and becomes a catalyst for changes in the lives of the people around her."
