Description
After many years in England an impoverished, upper-class American family return to an inherited estate on Chesapeake Bay. The novel describes their reaction to the new surroundings--country living versus city living, America versus Europe--and the resulting conflicts. The father returns to England, one son wants to follow, another wants to remain, and the mother is torn. By the author of In a Father's Place.
