Beschreibung
Set in pre-World War II New York City, A Time of Be Born offers a satirical send-up of city dwellers whose opportunism is only matched by their egotism. The novel revolves around a conniving novelist, Amanda Keeler, and her husband-a wealthy, self-important newspaper magnate. Amanda's rise to fame as a romance writer is propelled by glowing reviews in her husband's newspapers of her ghostwritten book. Meanwhile, Amanda entangles Vicky Haven, a newcomer from Ohio, in her web of social and romantic machinations. A blistering "comedy of manners" (The New York Times), A Time to Be Born scrutinizes the ambitions of a certain class of Manhattanites on the eve of world-changing global events. This Warbler Classics edition includes a detailed biographical timeline.
