Booth Tarkington's most famous novel, one of his two Pulitzer Prize winners, is an often-overlooked American classic. George Amberson Minafer, the spoiled, selfish heir of a wealthy and prominent family, sacrifices his devoted mother's chance at happiness to his own mistaken family pride, and eventually must learn from his mistakes the hard way as the Ambersons' fortunes crumble during the tumult of the Industrial Revolution. A well-crafted story and a fascinating look at changing times make this a novel well worth reading.
My review of this book.
