Synopsis
Booth Tarkinton was an American novelist and dramatist best known for his Pulitzer Prize-winning novels The Magnificent Ambersons and Alice Adams. Alice Adams won a Pulitzer Prize in 1922. This is the story of a small-town girl from the Midwest who has charm and ambition but lacks imagination, money, and background. Her social climbing mother and simple-minded father complicate her attempts to build a successful career and her hopes of finding a rich husband. She makes up stories that lead her family to suffer scandals and push her further from her goal.

Review
"Over the pictures, the vases, the old brown plush rocking-chairs and the stool, over the three gilt chairs, over the new chintz-covered easy chair and the gray velure sofa over everything everywhere, was the familiar coating of smoke and grime... Yet here was not fault of housewifery; the curse could not be lifted, as the ingrained smudges permanent on the once white woodwork proved. The grime was perpetually renewed; scrubbing only ground it in." from the novel
