It's one of the first American novels about divorce, but it isn't just about that. It's about personal responsibility, and unacknowledged motivations. It also has a few pointed things to say about journalism. This is the first novel by William Dean Howells I have read, and I found it brilliant and compelling. There are no simple heroes, easy categories and types, just people, so real you'll think you know them.
