Quirky and always graceful, and with settings that range from San Francisco to North Carolina, from Paris to Mexico, the stories in this collection provide telling glimpses into the lives of "ordinary people made extraordinary by Adams's perception" ("Newsweek").
We are happy to announce this classic book. Many of the books in our collection have not been published for decades and are therefore not broadly available to the readers. Our goal is to access the very large literary repository of general public books. The main contents of our entire classical books are the original works. To ensure high quality products, all the titles are chosen carefully by our staff. We hope you enjoy this classic.

Alice Adams is a young woman with ambitions to marry above her status. To do so, she must lie about her family's economic status to the young man who is courting her. Meanwhile her mother is pushing her unambitious husband into ventures that he really doesn't want to venture into; and the prodigal son is getting into debt. It all culminates in a crash when lies are found out and truths revealed.
