Synopsis:
Although this novel first appeared in 1924, it deals in an amazingly contemporary manner with the problems of a family in which both husband and wife are oppressed and frustrated by the roles that they are expected to play. Evangeline Knapp is the perfect, compulsive housekeeper, while her husband, Lester, is a poet and a dreamer. Suddenly, through a nearly fatal accident, their roles are reversed: Lester is confined to home in a wheelchair and his wife must work to support the family. The changes that take place between husband and wife and particularly between parents and children are both fascinating and poignant. The characters are brought to life in a vivid, compelling way in this powerful novel that is far more relevant now than when it was published.
Review:
"This is a vivid, realistic story."
Nation & Atheneum, 1924
Review:"[A]s a story it is admirably told, and always fully alive, but it is also a book that will repay the closest study and re-reading to get the full flavor of it."
Literary Review, 1924
