Description: First book to be awarded the Pullitzer Prize in Literature. ì 1917

At risk of becoming estranged from his children, Roger Gale ì has promised his wife on her deathbed that he will try to build ì bridges with his three daughters. The daughters in question are ì not alike: Edith is happily married with children and a devoted ì family woman; Deborah works as a school principal and has yet to ì marry as she seems to have so little time; Laura seems determined ì to live on the dangerous side of life, falling in love at the ì drop of a hat. Roger sees a little of himself in all his ì disparate children but struggles with the reality of life in ì which individuals make their own decisions and time seems to be ì ever rushing on. As he grapples with the evolving world, its ì politics, and its modern practices, his children are moving with ì the times: marrying as they wish and following their own ì political paths.

Summer at the family's beautiful farm in New Hampshire ì provides yearly respite from New York buzz, where the family can ì congregate and relax in their own space, but it cannot keep them ì safe from reality forever. In his struggle to keep his relatives ì united, Roger will have to face bereavement, divorce, financial ì ruin, and war. Will he be able to fulfill his promise to his wife ì or is it already too late for the Gale family?
