About This Book

A collection of short stories blends genteel Southern reminiscence with urbane New York social sketches. One tale follows a privileged young man wearied of metropolitan life as he resolves to seek marriage and confronts public opinion, while other pieces evoke seaside resort life and small domestic scenes. The sketches alternate social observation, light satire of manners, and quiet reflections on exile, home, and feminine experience, delivered in an elegant, conversational style that balances sentiment with ironic distance.
