Synopsis
A witty, character-driven set of tales about money, society, and the people who chase both.
In this collection, Merriman sketches social types from wealth and status to domestic life. The stories hinge on family dynamics, marriage, and the ways money shapes respect, desire, and duty. The tone blends humor with a quiet, elegiac look at the ambitions and frailties of modern life.
Expect sharply drawn portraits: the old-money patriarch, the glamorous but calculating wife, the ambitious son, and the small-town folks who judge—and are judged by—the world of privilege. Across settings from drawing rooms to the countryside, the characters reveal how wealth and class influence choices, loyalties, and happiness.
- Vivid character sketches that reveal inner longings, vanity, and resilience.
- Social observations about marriage, money, and status in turn‑of‑the‑century life.
- Scenes of family strain, hospitality, and the cost of maintaining appearances.
- A mix of intimate moments and pointed humor that exposes everyday hypocrisies.
Ideal for readers who enjoy nuanced character study and period drama that quietly probes the costs of wealth.
