Overview

In this monumental 1,136-page omnibus, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Louis Bromfield-one of the great chroniclers of American life between the wars-explores love, ambition, disillusionment, and the eternal search for meaning. The Green Bay Tree paints a vivid portrait of a community on the cusp of change, where the old world clashes with the new and human frailty shapes destiny. In Possession, Bromfield examines the dark allure of control-emotional, material, and spiritual-as passion and pride tear at the fabric of family and self. Early Autumn, his Pulitzer-winning masterpiece, delves into the quiet tragedies and redemptions of a New England family bound by tradition yet yearning for freedom. And in A Good Woman, he offers a tender yet unflinching portrait of a woman's strength and vulnerability in the face of a world that demands her sacrifice. Together, these novels form a panoramic exploration of an America in transition-restless, romantic, and forever seeking escape from its own contradictions. For readers who cherish the great realist tradition of Edith Wharton and Willa Cather, this omnibus is both an immersion in Bromfield's artistry and a rediscovery of one of America's most perceptive storytellers.

Author Information

Louis Bromfield (1896-1956) was one of the most acclaimed American novelists of the early twentieth century, a Pulitzer Prize-winning author, and a leading voice in modern American literature. Celebrated for his vivid storytelling, psychological insight, and unflinching portraits of society, class, and moral conflict, Bromfield captured the transformation of American life from the Gilded Age through the Jazz Age.Before achieving international fame, Bromfield served as an ambulance driver in World War I, an experience that deeply shaped his understanding of human struggle and resilience. His breakthrough novel, Early Autumn, earned the Pulitzer Prize for Fiction, and his other works-including The Green Bay Tree, Possession, and A Good Woman-cemented his reputation as a master of the social novel.Today, Louis Bromfield's novels are being rediscovered by a new generation of readers drawn to his rich character studies, bold critiques of privilege and conformity, and his belief in freedom, individuality, and renewal. His writing remains essential reading for fans of F. Scott Fitzgerald, Edith Wharton, Willa Cather, and Sinclair Lewis-and for anyone who loves classic American fiction that still feels timeless and alive.
