Synopsis
Two brothers, as different as night and one, charming and ruthless, buys his way into Harvard, Wall Street, and high society; the other brother remains by his mother's side and makes his way to the top without the influence of money or prestige. Raised in separate worlds, these brothers are bound by a bitter rivalry for riches and power, but mostly, for the exciting, wildly captivating woman they fight all their lives to possess, a woman whose passion for one destroys her love for the other. Their story consumes an American century, spanning decades of splendor, struggle, upheaval, and war. It's an absorbing saga of innocent dreams and green desire corrupted by gilded temptation.

Book Club Edition. Some water marks on right bottom corner, pages not damaged.The fierce rivalry between two brothers, Tip and Chapin Ames, impelled them to make very different choices in their climb to the heights of financial power. But their fatal competition is over Josefina Gaspa, the elusive woman both brothers want. Jophy will take any dare, run any risk; she will never yield her own wild sense of freedom to either of them. Tip, exuberant and resourceful, with the magic gift of the born salesman, reflects the unbounded confidence of The American Century- from the extravagant Bull Market of the Roaring '20s, through those desperate days of the Great Crash, to the mutual fund empires of the '50s. The sky is his limit, all things are possible. He believes in the product- and in people. His brother Chapin, bred to their Aunt Serena's world of Boston wealth and privilege, is the arch manipulator: a collector of beautiful objects, and even more beautiful people.
