Early autumn;

Description:

Early Autumn is a 1926 novel by Louis Bromfield that won the Pulitzer Prize for the Novel in 1927. Early Autumn was the third installment in a series of four novels called Escape. Sabine Callendar had fled from the stifling propriety of Durham, New England twenty years ago. With a failed marriage behind her and an eighteen year old daughter to present to society, everyone is surprised to find that Sabine has returned, not as the pitiable and broken creature they expected, but as a strong and assured individual with an uncanny ability to see through the postures and pretenses of the society that oppressed her as a girl. With her bold independence and forthright nature, Sabine challenges the social order and becomes a catalyst for changes in the lives of the people around her.
