Product Description

Product Description

Opening on the French Riviera among a motley community of American expatriates, The Mother's Recompense tells the story of Kate Clephane and her reluctant return to New York society after being exiled years before for abandoning her husband and infant daughter.

Oddly enough, Kate has been summoned back by that same daughter, Anne, now fully grown and intent on marrying Chris Fenno, a war hero, dilettante, and social opportunist. Chris's questionable intentions toward her daughter are, however, the least of Kate's worries since she was once, and still is, deeply in love with him. Kate's moral quandary and the ensuing drama evoke comparison with Oedipus and Hamlet and lead to an ending that startled the mores of the day. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.



Ingram

The Pulitzer Prize-winning author relates the story of a mother and daughter whose infatuation with the same man causes shock waves to ripple through 1920s New York high society. Reprint. 15,000 first printing. --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0étoiles sur 5 A Fantastic Voyage Across an Hysterical Sea, Juil 28 1998
This review is from: The Mothers Recompense (Paperback)
This novel which has gone undiscovered for many years deserves close scrutiny and ultimately a judgement on the heroine. The introduction invites the author to decide whether the mother is merely hysterical or has real cause for concern. Whatever the outcome it is a difficult and delightful decision to make
