This work presents a touching evocation of an unorthodox New England aristocratic family, extremely proud of their social status. The protagonist Jim Calder is a magazine fiction writer who went to Harvard, served in World War I, and now spends much of his time between his other trips at Wickford Point, with its poor buildings and weary river setting.
